That ain’t a “gansta,” that’s Sonny J Hereford III. He’s the “law and order” black man and Huntsville civil rights icon – and he MATTERS!
Passing through the hood today I happened to pass by the newly christened elementary school named for him and bearing the large screen TV sign out front flashing the image of the same Sonny Hereford. I remember when they first started putting this type sign up along the Interstate and when they said one cost about $500,000.00. This one isn’t that big, and I guess the price has come down some since then. Even still, wouldn’t it be great if the hood could get Casey Wardynski to put the Super Bowl on that thing so community could gather outside and watch together? I keep thinking they’ll do that with the big one on the Interstate.
Sonny Hereford passed on July 7th.
