Editor’s Note – It seems so unbelievable because the time has passed so quickly. The Capital City Hues’ first edition was published on March 22, 2006. That’s right 19 years going on 20 years. As a matter of fact, we begin our 20^th year of publishing in our next issue, March 24^th. There are 12 partners who own The Hues and so we got everyone together at Centro Hispano’s Calli to take a cover photo. Due to everyone’s activism and community involvement, it was like herding cats trying to get everyone together.

But get together, we did and I personally feel in my totally biased viewpoint that it is a classic photo. Each of the partners will be writing something about their involvement in The Hues.

And we would like you, our readers, to express your opinions about The Hues, why you read it and how it impacts Madison’s communities of color and beyond. Please, please email your thoughts to gramling@capitalcityhues.com with Hues Comments in the Subject line. We would really like to hear from you for this auspicious moment. After all, if it weren’t for you and all of the stories we are fortunate to cover, The Capital City Hues would be nothing more than a Shopper Stopper. So please let us hear from you!!!
