Jones trace the life of an African American entrepreneur in St. Petersburg. A Kansas native, born in 1909, Jones moved to the Tampa Bay region in 1950. He wrote regular columns in local and national newspapers, worked as a freelance photojournalist, supported conservative political organizations, embraced the economic philosophies of Booker T. Washington, and sparked controversy by holding strong opinions that often contradicted local advocates of racial integration and the civil rights movement. ","A photographer, publicist, and journalist, Jones worked as Florida Editor for the Pittsburgh Courier and edited the \"Negro News\" pages of the St. Petersburg Times and St. Petersburg Evening Independent. For almost twenty years, beginning in 1956, he contributed a column entitled \"Let's Talk Politics\" to various black newspapers throughout Florida. He also produced his own radio program on two Tampa stations, WEBK and WIOU. During its early years of operation WTOG-Channel 44 televised the \"Norman E. Jones Show,\" a public affairs program hosted by Jones.","For more information, refer to the external documents on the ArchiveSpace record.

He immediately became involved in civil liberties issues, serving as chairman of the Greater St. Petersburg ACLU chapter in 1971, as acting executive director of the state chapter in 1973, and as a long-time delegate on the Pinellas County and state 3 executive boards. Yazell encouraged members of the community to understand and appreciate their cherished freedoms and the Bill of Rights. Through the court observer program and regular correspondence to municipal authorities, he worked with local officials to guarantee that courts extended constitutional protections to defendants. In addition to his ACLU responsibilities, Yazell also advocated criminal justice reform through regular discussions with law enforcement administrators and his Coalition for Alternatives to Jail Expansion (CAJE) organization. After the reinstatement of the death penalty, Yazell served as a co-founder of Tampa Bay Citizens to Abolish the Death Penalty. Along with his wife, Margaret \"Margo\" Yazell, he edited Come Unity, a St. Petersburg based social action newspaper. While attending classes on the USF St. Petersburg campus, Ray and Margo played an important role in the development of a student ACLU chapter. Ray and Margo continued to enroll in seminars and classes at USF into the early 1990s.
