Mac Secrest: ‘He was, of course, right’
The South and Southern journalism have lost another legendary figure: A.M. "Mac" Secrest, a courageous small town newspaper publisher who stood up for decency when racial tensions in the region were at their peak.
Mac Secrest's courage in fighting racial segregation was beyond dispute. He was often opinionated and frequently outspoken, and he relished a good argument. But he was also an immensely engaging figure who was loved by many and tolerated even by many of the people who fiercely disagreed with him.
The obituary below, prepared by his son David K. Secrest, a long-time reporter and editor, tells more of ...

Dew tops 1,000
This story is the 1,000th to appear on Like the Dew. Yes, this one — the one you are reading. Reaching this milestone was unthinkable a year ago. Some awesome work has appeared on the site since it debuted with a story by the film writer Eleanor Ringel Cater last March 12. Many accomplished writers, some with strong professional credentials, others just beginning to express themselves in public, have contributed work that sings with a genuine elegance.
That's not to say every story we've published has been wonderful. Not all stories nor all writers are equal in this publication or any ...

Now that the weekend's over, we don't want you to suffer total withdrawal, so here's a forum for anyone who wants to talk about sports. You can bring up any topic you want, but here are three questions for starters:

The late, great Bill Emerson on the late, great Celestine Sibley
Bill Emerson, whose life is portrayed brilliantly by Doug Cumming in a tribute that also appears on likethedew.com, delivered a remarkable eulogy for his fellow journalist, Celestine Sibley, 10 years ago this month.
A long-time reporter and columnist for The Atlanta Constitution, Ms. Sibley died of cancer at the age of 85 on Aug. 15, 1999. Mr. Emerson died Tuesday at the age of 86.
