Groveland Historical Society President Marie Padgett – who is not related to Norma Padgett – said when people come into the Groveland museum asking about the Groveland Four, they are referred to online sources for information or to the city library for the books that have been pub- lished on the subject. “We agreed since the first Groveland Four book was being published, and we could not offer any addi- tional documentation or expertise, we did not wish to risk backlash from the com- munity with a “best guess” exhibit,” Howard King wrote in an email. “Anyone who is asked about the events will give a different description.

OUR OPINION Kudos to two lawmakers who heard the public on ‘do not call’
ach year Florida’s Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services releases Florida residents’ top gripes about business’ bad behavior. E And typically leading the list — by a long shot, with nearly half of overall complaints in 2016 and 2017, for exam- ple — are the telemarketers and robocallers who violate the state’s “Do Not Call” law. It’s also a major problem for Flo- ridians on a national scale. The Federal Trade Commission, which regulates the national Do Not Call List, reported that in 2017 Florida residents filed 588,000 of the 3.5 million com- plaints it received for unwanted telephonic solicitation.

MOSCOW — What to watch for in Friday’s matchups at the World Cup quarterfinals:
Teammates vs. Teammates
The first match features a number of teammates on their professional clubs facing off against each other when France takes on Uru- guay in Nizhny Novgorod. France forward Antoine Griezmann plays at Atletico Madrid alongside Uruguayan defenders Diego Godin and Jose Maria Gimenez; Godin is godfather to Griezmann’s daughter. Those ties are so thick that Uruguay striker Luis Suarez needled Griezmann this week for trying to be Uruguayan. Suarez himself will find a Barcelona team- mate on the other side of the pitch in French defender Samuel Umtiti.
