BREAKING: One of the last surviving Tuskegee Airmen has died in Sarasota at 100.

Lt. Col. George Hardy was one of the first Black aviators in the military. I'm grateful for his service, & for every moment he shared w/ me.

@HealthyFla Hello! I have been trying to reach your office regarding a public records request filed in December. We have sent over several follow-up emails and made multiple calls but haven't heard anything back. Hoping someone sees this and can help! Thank you.

[Emerald Morrow (WTSP) @EmeraldMorrow]

@venetianblonde Oh wow. I’m sorry to hear this Anne. Would you be willing to forward me that email? [email protected]

Are you in the area or from out of town?

Ever since I was a little girl I knew I wanted to request public records

The old Sacred Heart Academy was built on the St. Mary's site after the cemetery closed nearly 100 years ago.

This old map overlay shows the cemetery atop today's landscape.

As we previously reported, records suggest 900+ burials-- but only 100 moved.

After several of our reports, the local diocese added a marker along N. Florida Ave. acknowledging burials of all races at St. Mary's Cemetery, which closed in the 1920s.

100 graves went to Myrtle Hill, which was white-only. The diocese will not say where Black burials are today

@RobCarpenter2 Thank you!

Honored to receive @NABJ's University of Florida Award in Multimedia Investigative Journalism for a series @jennabourneWTSP and I worked on exploring Florida’s recent battles over Black history in public schools.

Thank you for recognizing this work.

These are the #storiesthatmatter. The stories that have powerful and meaningful impact.

But how do you find them, pitch them & get them on air? Especially when it seems like the data on marginalized communities doesn’t seem to exist.

@EmeraldMorrow @CaresseJ @JaredKofsky and I got you covered.

When @MilwaukeePolice sent us an email on a man they considered critically missing, we had questions, considering there was no context provided on the case and the only image police gave us was a mugshot. Here's what we learned in our reporting. #transparency @WISN12News 🧵
