Wasn’t she gorgeous? And smart too. But sadly her story has a tragic ending. And, unfortunately, all together too common. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alberta Jones, Louisville\u2019s first female black prosecutor, was killed in 1965. The 34- year-old civil rights pioneer was beaten and thrown in the Ohio River. The prosecutor was pulled out of her rental car, beaten in the head with a brick until she lost consciousness and thrown into the Ohio River, where she drowned.<\/p>

The brutal Aug. 5, 1965, murder of Alberta O. Jones, a civil rights activist and the first woman to become a prosecutor in Louisville, was never solved, despite fingerprints obtained from her car and witnesses who saw men tossing a body from a bridge. Never forget about Jones, a trailblazer who integrated the University of Louisville and worked as the first attorney for Muhammad Ali, who was then Cassius Clay, negotiating the contract for his first fight.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Why are white men so threatened by strong black women? There really is a creature problem down here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did anyone happen to make it to the Harry Denton<\/a> send off that Johnny Love hosted at Harry’s Bar in SF last night? I unfortunately missed it. I’m sure it was a great party. Some of you may not know that Michelle designed the dresses for the cocktail waitresses at the Starlight Room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RIP Harry! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
