E kaabo (eh-kah-bow). Welcome. Charlotte Dwight Stewart September 28, 1922-August 14, 2013
lady n. A well-mannered and considerate woman with high standards of proper behavior.
A lady. Gracious. Sophisticated. Charming. Charlotte Dwight Stewart personified all the words that simply describe a lady. She always had a pleasant smile and kind things to say. She enjoyed attending social events, which is why she was perfect as social columnist for The Florida Star from 1980 to 2002. Clara McLaughlin, The Florida Star’s publisher, says when she bought the paper Charlotte told her that she would continue writing the column until she was eighty! True to her word, she retired in 2002 handing over the pen to the late Betty Asque Davis, who passed the pen to me. I don’t remember when I last saw Charlotte. It may have been at Jazzland Café, a special evening when sons Michael and Dennis and daughter-in-law Linda brought her to a performance of Longineu Parsons and Nat Adderly Jr. last November. She was like a queen in audience with her subjects as person after person stopped by to speak or give hugs and kisses during intermission. I always told her, “I want to be like you when I grow up!” Charlotte Christine Dwight was born in Jacksonville on September 28, 1922 to David H. Dwight Sr. and wife Florida Rebecca. She attended local schools, graduating from Boylan Haven School for Girls in 1939. In 1943, she graduated from the former Florida Agricultural and Mechanical College (FAMC, which would be- come FAMU) with the bachelor of science degree. She later completed educational certifications from Northwestern University and University of Colorado. Photograph courtesy of F. M. Powell, III For thirty-seven years, Charlotte Stewart worked for the Duval County Public Schools as a physical education teacher and guidance counselor. After retirement she continued in the field of education working as a teacher and counselor in Adult Services for Florida Junior College, now Florida State College at Jack- sonville. Her career accomplishments also included working as a Congressional Aide to Congresswoman Cor- rine Brown (1996 – 1998) and an outside sales travel counselor with American Express Travel. Charlotte was a dedicated steward of the African American community and gave back in many ways: - Chaired many programs involving African American youth as a member of the Arts Assembly of Jack- sonville, predecessor to today’s Cultural Council of Jacksonville, Inc. - Member of the cosmetology section of the Florida Professional Regulations Board. - Served as a member of the American Lung Association in Florida, Jacksonville - Founder of the David H. Dwight Sr. Memorial Committee for Scouting - Member of the Circle of Three, with Camilla Thompson and the late Dr. Hortense Gray, who researched and developed a slide presentation of the history of African Americans in Jacksonville. The group pre- sented “An Oral Black History of Jacksonville from 1925-1959” to organizations throughout the city. - As a devoted member of Historic Mt. Zion A.M.E. Church, she served in many leadership positions, including Trustee Charlotte Stewart and son Michael Stewart at 2012 Ritz Chamber She was the recipient of numerous awards and certificates from organizations such as Bethel Baptist Players' concert season finale Institutional Church, United Negro College Fund, Baker Correctional Institution, University of North Florida, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, and the J.P. Small Foundation Scholarship Hall of Fame. Her social activities included membership in the Smart Set and Entre Nous Bridge Clubs and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated. Charlotte Stewart was a devoted wife of the late Dennis Stewart Sr. She enjoyed a close relationship with her sons, Dennis Stewart Jr. (Linda) and Michael D. Stewart. She will be remembered tenderly by daughter-in-law Lydia Stewart; grandchildren Marcus, Patrick, Maya, Eros, and Cherub Stewart; great-grandchildren Khari, Amani, Noah, Alexis, and Zaria; siblings Lydia Wooden and David H. Dwight Jr. (Bettye); beloved friend Iona King; and ex- tended family. The family will receive friends from 5 p.m. – 7 p.m. on Friday, August 23, 2013 at Historic Mt. Zion AME Church, 201 E. Beaver St., Jacksonville, Florida 32202. Funeral services will be held at Historic Mt. Zion at 1 p.m. on Saturday, August 24 under the direction of Hillman-Pratt & Walton Funeral Home, 525 W. Beaver St., (904) 354-1651. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Charlotte Stewart’s memory to the building fund of Historic Mt. Zion AME Church. While Charlotte’s presence will be missed, our fond memories of her will live forever.

Jacksonville, Fl (August 16, 2013): As the 2013 school year starts, students from Clay and Duval counties will benefit from the dedicated efforts provided by the employees of the Office of Public Defender Matt Shirk. Over the past few weeks, attorneys and support staff from the office have participated in multiple school supply drives and an educational program, all in the interest of improving the lives of public school children.
Each summer, the PD Office organizes a school supply drive to benefit children in homeless families called ‘Stuff the Bus for Sulzbacher.’ Adding to the tra- dition, the office also collected gently used children’s clothing. On Wednesday (8/14) APD Melina Buncome, Legal Assistant Rhonda Patrick and Chief APD Refik Eler delivered several boxes of supplies to the Sulzbacher Center (right). This year, the Clay County office carried on the tradition of holding school supply drive to benefit underprivileged students at C.E. Bennett Elementary School in Green Cove Springs. Legal Assistant Beth Frill delivered the dozens school supplies collected by the Clay County staff. The PD Office, along with multiple other organizations, is also participating in the State Attorney’s Office: Back to School Event by colleting and donating school supplies to benefit local families in the Juvenile Diversion Program.
In an effort to promote a better understanding of how school aged children are affected by the legal system, Juvenile Director Rob Mason and APD Courtney Drew (pictured, left) educated personnel at Duval County Public Schools on collateral consequences of juvenile arrests. More than 50 officers from the Duval County School Police Department participated in the hour long forum. The duo explained to officers that when a young person is charged criminally, he or she will likely face serious complications with future financial aid needs, the ability to obtain a drivers license, acceptance to college and immigration status among other things.
