CONTRIBUTED BY FREDRICK P. LEE
To the editor:
Five points about the photograph I wish to share with you.
1. I defend the right of the Winonan to publish whatever it sees fit to publish.
2. The photograph or illustration is in bad taste.
3. The photograph reinforces the pervasive stereotype of hooded black male predators.
4. The use of the photograph reveals an appalling lack of recent events associated with point three in this country.
5. The use of the photograph is an example of cultural incompetence.
Sincerely,
Fredrick P Lee
