Town Talk: A conversation with James M. Kilby
In this Town Talk, our publisher Mike McCool, has a conversation with James M. Kilby. Kilby says many people confuse him with his father, James W. Kilby. In 1958, James Wilson Kilby filed a lawsuit that forced Warren County High School to admit blacks. We’ll learn more from Jimmy Kilby, that’s what his sister Betty calls him, and we’ll hear from her in our next Town Talk, about that moment in history. Kilby is also the author of the book “The Forever Fight” and available on Amazon.
Town Talk is a series on the Royal Examiner where we will introduce you to local entrepreneurs, businesses, non-profit leaders, and political figures who influence Warren County. Topics will be varied but hopefully interesting. If you have an idea, topic, or want to hear from someone in our community, let us know. Send your request to news@RoyalExaminer.com
