A blind radio announcer, Tim Stewart, had an interview with a radio station that billed itself as “The Winners News Network” in Ft. Lauderdale.

Lauderdale, so I organized a group of Federationists and held a rally outside the venue. We had about fifty of us chanting and passing out flyers about the discrimination. We watched as many of these people turned around and left! Joe and Arlene were responsible for organizing those in the SE Florida region, as they then lived in Ft.
