In Kentucky, the Lexington Herald-Leader newspaper issued a front-page apology on Sunday for failing to adequately cover the civil rights movement four decades ago. The correction appeared two days after the 40th anniversary of the signing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The paper wrote in part “It has come to the editor’s attention that the Herald-Leader neglected to cover the civil rights movement. We regret the omission.” The editor’s note accompanied a series of articles titled “Front-page news back-page coverage.”
