The retired schoolteacher hung the first poster board in his living room long ago, a record of achievements that filled him with pride: education certificates from his native Jamaica and New York City; a 1970s magazine article about new teachers that begins, “Richard Lewis: dashing, debonair, youthful and energetic.”
Mr. Lewis is 70 now, his vitality sapped by time and, more than that, recent events. He spent much of last week showing off a second poster board in his living room in the Tilden Houses in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn. He made the board for his youngest son.

The media is EVIL.
