Central Pennsylvania is a microcosm of our entire nation.
We appreciate the Centre Daily Times’ efforts to provide balanced coverage of local events, in particular, the Dec. 3 photo of Penn State President Eric Barron with his hands raised during the recent “#BlackLivesMatter” rally and continuing coverage of anguished pleas of students at for equal treatment, heartfelt student support of police officers and the continuing dialogue within the Penn State and local communities.
