You might remember Boswell Hutson’s byline here at Smile Politely as recently as August 2017. Hutson is from Monticello, but lives now in Champaign, and was a part of this here magazine for a good chunk of time.
Today, an article that he has co-written was published on The Washington Post called “Ben Carson called this small Illinois town a ‘dying community.’ Its people, and basketball, are hanging on”. The article was co-written by Hutson and Jesse Dougherty, with photos and video to accompany it by Michael Robison Chavez. Read it, linked above.
