white people step up

 This island is about as white as it gets. The town beach is named for Fred Benson, a local official who for years was the only black person on the island. We do have a black CEO who summers here now, and there are a handful of former Jamaicans who have settled.  But basically the place is WASPy white bread. So were almost all of the hundred marchers who stepped out in support of people of color yesterday.
   Thank you to Madison Porter for the photos. And for marching.
