SLIDE 1
James I. McLaughlin passed away Wednesday, July 4, 2018 at the age of
- 87. He and his wife were owners of
the Flashes Shopper's Guide & News from 1955 to 1990.
The following are Jim’s thoughts when he spoke at the NAAP Convention as President in Des Moines, Iowa in 1968, at the age of 38:
“We have many challenges to face both now and in the years to come. The No. 1 challenge, in my opinion, is
- APATHY. When we lick this fellow –
the rest will come easier. Please note I said easier, I did not say easy! Permit me to remind us all that anything really worthwhile simply does not come easy.”
