History Collection Includes Hawkes's Brave Column

Numerous historic articles, communications and documents pertaining to the Convention Center Project are now posted at www.LancasterFirst.org. The collection is a treasure chest for future historians and generations to come.

Included is a Jan. 1, 2006 column by Jeff Hawkes of the Intelligencer Journal entitled "Local Newspaper Prints The Truth (mostly)" that was Hawkes's brave and perhaps last attempt to speak candidly, albeit cautiously, to ownership, the Power Elite and his readers.

Hawkes's article can be read at: http://lookingatlancaster.blogspot.com/2006/01/local-newspaper-prints-truth-mostly.html
