Don't Mourn, Take up Fight for Justice

Dear Editor,
    Thank you for writing an article on Dorothy Turner's death [“Dorothy T. Goes Home,” News, April 22]. She would have been amazed that the Chronicle covered her passing because she believed you did not give fair coverage of the problems in East Austin. Actually, she thought you did not cover at all the problems of police brutality, job discrimination, or the encroachment of developers into the historically black community, forcing people out of their longtime homes. So, perhaps the best tribute to her would be for the Chronicle to take up the fight for justice. Surely, you, the Chronicle's founders, have some anger about the direction this country is going under the leadership of greedy people. We all live on the same planet. We do not all live under the same degree of repression. Greed is a disease that can never be satisfied. The right-wingers – both Republican and Democratic – will destroy the human rights we all fought for. Then, what will we do?
