Comments: AAPRC Weekly: Florence "Flo" Anthony

Miss Flo: Congrats on everything, and keep up the good work! I remember hanging out with you when you were writing for the Post. You've come a long way, and show what determination and hard work can do. You go gurrl!

Malik Brooks is a good friend and he always speaks highly of you. Your bio is amazing. It makes me so proud to see African-American women succeeding and overcoming like this! I will make sure that my daughter knows about you and your achievements.

I, the former editor of Flo's sports magazine,"Gladiator" just wanna testify that much that was said is completely true. However, there are volumes more to Anthony's story -- her Michael Spink stories, her Michael Jackson defences,how she endured excessive racism at the NY Post, her battle with sickle cell anemia, enemity and jealousy by people she trusted,conspiracies from white colleagues, enumerable disclosures on Geraldo Rivera Show, The Phil Donohue Show, E!Entertainment, and so many others. The fact she is a loyal and true friend was also missed in the bold effort to spotlight this champion of the fourth and fifth estates. Well done, this was an enlightening reminder of a friend and colleague who in the lyrics popularized by Donna Summer, "works hard for the money."
