as EPA suffered serious cuts under Trump, Delmarva should step up local efforts to sustain our beautiful way of life and its many benefits; economic, environmental, and social.
Melvin W. Williams, Jr CWO, USCG(Ret) says
You must mean YOUR beautiful way of life, economically, environmentally and socially. After my last visit to MY town where I was born, raised and educated, it appears that the Afro-American community has none of these so call benefits. These communities suffer from exclusions, displacements, representation and support in the town’s functions/policies. The town is a victim of outsider deep pockets take over.

‘Exclusion’?? You excluded them with a hyphen by referring to them a Afro-Americans.
So sick of folks not wanting to be just plain old ‘Americans’.
By the way what does a hair style have to do with being an American???
Af·ro /ˈafrō/ noun noun: Afro; plural noun: Afros
a thick hairstyle with very tight curls that sticks out all around the head, like the natural hair of some black people.
See how silly it sounds? Just as silly as the ‘No Shave Chits’ that the USCG issued them.
