Margaret ”Sis” Vinegar, like countless other Black girls and women of her day and beyond, never saw justice during her short life. But she is now memorialized in Lawrence’s history with a marker, dedicated in her honor Saturday evening.
Following a “lengthy interview process,” Lawrence’s Sexual Trauma & Abuse Care Center has named Jennifer Ananda its new executive director, the center announced Tuesday.
Coming from a childhood of poverty and trauma, Jennifer Ananda said that by the numbers, she should not be sitting on the Lawrence City Commission dais Tuesday night.
