Editor: I wish to thank you for publishing during February/Black History Month inspiring articles about your African American citizens in Statesboro, many of whom I personally knew. I am thankful especially for the prominence your paper gave to the article on Sunday, February 6th, about my father, Dr. Harvey van Buren, recognized for his contribution to the community some 68 years after his passing. I visited Statesboro on February 26th and spoke to a gathering of citizens at the local recreational center about my father, providing some additional information not found in your paper's article.
