  1. Thanks Lennie for this history of Bridgeport and Connecticut, a history that many people are not aware of, the struggle of blacks and power. The Morton family has serve the city and bought honor, respect and dignity to the East End, to Bridgeport and Connecticut.

    1. Thank you, Ron. I met Margaret in 1979, a 21-year-old reporter. She had a level of kindness, honesty, independence and empathy I’ve not seen since. She set a course for so many people. They know who they are and that’s why she’s one of the most beloved in city history. She didn’t do it by design, only by her core. But she could also be tough when required without losing her soul. She was special.
