Once in a blue moon, the Associated Press does something right. Props to Shelia Byrd for mentioning the affiliation of the slain civil rights workers who got justice yesterday. All three brave young men were field workers for the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), a conservative — yes, conservative — civil rights group. Small wonder the CORE affiliation was ignored by the New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, and USA Today.
