Taking A Stand Against Racism
Thursday, July 17th, 2008 08:42 amBold move from the director of a North Carolina lab: he was willing to be fired rather than fly the NC flag to honor Jesse Helms.
All Things Considered, July 10, 2008: North Carolina lowered flags this week to honor the late Sen. Jesse Helms. But L.F. Eason -- director of the state Standards Laboratory -- chose to retire rather than comply with the directive. Eason explains his objections.
BTW, web sites tend to hide their low-bandwidth versions (probably because they serve fewer ads). With no graphics and no javascripts, they load really quickly. All the content is there, just way faster:
