Miami activist who helped found the Alternatives program- Georgia Ayers, has passed away. The Herald Obit is here.
Ayers commanded the attention of local judges, city officials, public defenders and the media.
“Mrs. Ayres was one of Miami's most influential civil rights activists who worked tirelessly to guide troubled young people away from the criminal justice system and encouraged them to lead productive lives. Her work as the founder of the Alternative Program will always be remembered as well as her contributions to Miami-Dade County’s history,” said Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez in a statement.
PLAY BALL
If four of the best words a baseball fan can hear is "pitchers and catchers report", then the two best words in the English language- first place obviously being "NOT" & "GUILTY" are "Play Ball." Pitchers and catchers reported yesterday. Opening day is not that far away.
Great job by the Captain getting Judge Emas to write about his memories of Irwin Block.
See you in court.
