On March 18, the Orange County Regional History Center will honor determined journalist Mabel Norris Reese in an online event. In the 1950s and ’60s, Reese, who covered news in Lake County, courageously opposed segregation and injustice, at peril to her career and her safety. Pulitzer Prize-winning author Gilbert King tells the story in his 2018 book “Beneath a Ruthless Sun: A True Story of Violence, Race, and Justice Lost and Found,” which brought renewed attention to Reese’s career and importance.
