While the nation marks the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Civil Rights Act on July 2, 1964, many in Northeast Florida remember the struggles of local citizens in helping to achieve that goal. The Florida Heritage Book Festival commemorates those struggles leading to the historic legislation with a 90-minute panel discussion on Saturday, September 27, featuring four distinguished panelists.

Dear Editor:
I was recently interviewed by Jessica Clark, a television reporter for First Coast News, regarding the “interconnectivity” debate in St Johns County. I appeared on the 6:00 p.m. program.
Historic City News will be on hand at high noon tomorrow when qualifying week in St Johns County comes to a close and those candidates whose names will appear on the August Primary Election ballot will be known. After qualifying closes Friday at 12:00 p.m., no more candidates will be able to throw their hat into the ring this year, although some may drop out.
Historic City News has learned that the enigmatic smile of Mona Lisa has inspired students in the St. Augustine Art Association Summer Art Camp during the first week-long session–Hello Mona Lisa!
Letter: Stop the ugly rumors Senator Thrasher

Former St Johns County Republican State Committeeman
Dear Editor:
It is no secret that Senator John Thrasher is seeking to become the President of Florida State University, and I think it would be a well-deserved reward for a long career in public service. He is also the most qualified person for the job.
