Reader sees subtle message in water fountain cartoon




At first reading I thought the Gitche Gitche Gumee cartoon was a good-natured poke at the tennis court water fountain controversy. Then I realized it must be a subtle message about the movement in many states to pass voter suppression laws.

If they continue down that path we will soon be in a position were we will need separate water fountains for whites and minorities and the Supreme Court will again have to be involved. Haven’t we fought this battle before?
