I’ve been writing a weekly column for the Selma Sun most of this year. The Sun has now folded into the Black Belt News Network that has a wider readership across Alabama. As described, the “Black Belt” is “the poorest and most rural region in Alabama.” BBNN is woman-run, reaches half a million people in 14 counties, and it’s a media partner with Alabama Public Radio. It also operates the only live newscast in the region.
I’m pleased to be a regular writer presenting my “un-orthodox” views on Religion from a non-religious perspective.
You’re invited to support the Black Belt News Network through a subscription. I also post a copy of the “Friendly Freethinker” columns each week.
However you access my scribblings, thank you for reading!

Hi Mr. Highland. You are very welcome. Your column is featured in my local newspaper. I purchase the print edition every week at my local Walmart. It’s called the Destin Log. Here’s a link in case you are interested. The Destin Log: Local News, Politics & Sports in Destin, FL
