Martin Luther King Day 2010 St. Augustine, Florida

Speaking at the City Plaza today (documented slave market of yesteryear), Mayor Boles waxed eloquently on his children's incredulity that "black" children didn't used to go to school with white children here in St. Augustine. He was, he said, part of the 1963-64 St. Augustine High School class that was fully integrated.

As his city police use the color of law to discriminate on access to public accommodation in the city plaza regarding any first-amendment activity or first-amendment sales specifically allowed by the most recent Federal Court ruling, he speaks about justice. I wanted to throw up, but I stood firm and filmed the event.

I am ashamed of Mayor Boles and all the members of the St. Augustine Police Department.

I will upload video footage of the main speaker and of the West Augustine group meeting up with the Lincolnville group of marchers, marching to the former Slave Market.
