RICHARD has insisted that I write a little bit about the death of Frank Kitson. Kitson, British Army general and leading advocate of counter-insurgency operations and collusion between state forces and death squads, died last week. I have written about him many times. I am sure his death will be mourned by those within the British system whom he served over many decades in defence of the Empire. He was rewarded with medals, a knighthood and military promotions. He was for a time Commander-in-Chief of UK Land Forces and from 1982 to 1985 he was Aide-de-Camp General to the British Queen.
King Hollands was one of the first Black students to integrate Father Ryan High School in the '50s, and he participated in the Woolworth's Lunch counter sit-ins of the '60s. He has died at 82.
