During the years in Brevard County, Florida, I became
increasingly active in community organizations - particularly in
the civil rights, civil liberties, environmental, and community empowerment arenas.
I also wrote an extensive number of op-ed pieces for the highly
popular Today Newspaper, whose publisher would subsequently found
USA Today. The Newspaper ran a special profile in 1970, including
this photo of me atop the 120 meter high Apollo-Saturn Vehicle Assembly Building
where I often watched the eagles ride the upward drafts along side
the structure.
