Majority-Black Town in Ohio Launches Armed Watch after Neo-#Nazi, #Klan Provocations

“My ask is this; if there’s anyone in this area looking to start a paper and is willing to do the work of being sociable and welcoming and friendly, and just well rounded, come see us. Think about The Community Press continuing on, and I believe you’ll get a lot of support,” Johnson said.
