Frank Scott Jr. has been elected Little Rock’s next mayor. His opponent, Baker Kurrus, conceded shortly after 8:30 p.m. At that time, unofficial results from the Pulaski County Election Commission showed Scott with 9,590 votes and Kurrus, with 5,025 votes. Only early and absentee votes had been counted. Scott, an adviser to former Gov. Mike Beebe who served on the state Highway Commission, becomes the first African American elected mayor of Little Rock, where divisions linger long after nine black students were escorted past an angry white mob into Little Rock Central High School in 1957.

First off, good for Mr. Scott.
Secondly, nicely placed dramatic end to author of the quote.
Don’t forget everyone everywhere hates each other according to the press.
