The Beans of Tulia, Texas
The Harvard Gazette has a nice profile of past-Grits guest blogger Alan Bean and his wife Nancy, who co-founded the group Tulia Friends of Justice in response to the ill-begotten Tulia drug stings. Their daughter is attending school there.
I wish they would move to Tyler, Texas and take on the famed sheriff there. The folks without money there don't have a chance in hell. The snitch system is convicting many low-level drug users every day. The probation recidivism there has to be much higher than State average because of long, long terms given to the above named groups.
