Jackson story opened reader’s eyes to past acts of discrimination
To the editor:
Ty Rushing wrote a great article about JoAnne Jackson and her family recently. I was saddened to realize the abusive treatment her dad experienced in the early ’30s and discrimination I was not even aware of later.
JoAnne Jackson was just a year behind me at Newton Senior High School, where we were both very active in music. She and her family were well liked by everyone I knew, but I’m sure that wasn’t always true.
