Best wishes and prayers for Ike Brown.  Those who have read my book Injustice are already familiar with Brown.  He is the Chair of the Noxubee Democratic Executive Committee.  Word has gotten to me that he had a stroke and is recuperating in a Tupelo (MS) hospital.  While Brown was found liable for violating the Voting Rights Act, many of us spent a great deal of time with him and came to know him.  As I wrote in my book Injustice:

“The tall and lanky Brown is always a swirl of energy working on some project or scheme, sometimes many at once. Quick in conversation and boasting an encyclopedic knowledge of history and of the Dallas Cowboys, he has undeniable charisma, even if it is unpolished and rash at times. With his intelligence and charm, he became a singular force in Noxubee politics. “
