Yesterday, one of black icons, Booker T. Washington or Frederick Douglass, spoke from the grave. This indeed is startling news, and I'm shocked that the P & C didn't present THAT news in its top headlines!
See Ancestor of Black Icons Is Thankful in both its on-line and print versions for the latest news from the grave.

I once wrote headlines and edited newspapers for a living. It isn't as easy as you might imagine. I guess Descendant just didn't fit. Too many letters.
This is not nearly as amusing as the article in Thursday's paper that described Charleston-native painter Louis Remy Mignot as "one of few Southern landscape painters to attend the Hudson River school."
It doesn't say whether he graduated.
Jerry, I know copy editing has its horrors--I've done it, but I would hope that an editor would have caught this mistake.
Clisby--that's a great one! Maybe we can start a blooper book.
