Letter to Editor

While there is a lot of fear in our community about being erased, there is little interest or effort in our community to learn about our history and culture. How can outsiders erase us when we ourselves do not know where we come from or the history we have made? Can you erase what is already unknown?

Because you could not provide well-planned financial stewardship for a legacy left to this city by a generous group of donors, the Richard C. Sullivan Public Library is doomed to pass to county administration, thus removing one layer of safeguards against censorship in literature and film that support an inclusive community.

As Vice Mayor of Wilton Manors, I want to thank Thomas Paul Severino and the Gazette for highlighting an important conversation about how our city preserves its heritage while making thoughtful fiscal decisions that enhance access to resources for all residents.  In light of ongoing budget challenges, I suggested we consider allowing Broward County to take financial responsibility for our cherished Wilton Manors library.
