Charles D. Kelly—he took a stand
Published Feb 23, 2006 7:48 PM
The editorial staff of Workers World newspaper sends our condolences to the
family, friends and staff of Charles D. Kelly, founder and publisher of the
Michigan Citizen newspaper. He died on Feb. 5 after a long illness. It was his
leadership that shaped the Citizen to live up to the motto of its masthead:
“America’s most progressive community newspaper.” The
publication became the voice of the African-American communities in Benton
Harbor, Highland Park and Detroit.
Whether embracing the brothers and
sisters caught up in the prison-industrial complex, supporting the rights of the
LGBT communities, taking a stand against the war on Iraq and on our cities,
covering the news about Africa or holding public officials accountable every
week—the contribution of Charles D. Kelly will live on in the pages of the
Michigan Citizen.
