A photo of Peggy M. Peterman
  NNB is dedicated in honor of local news legend Peggy Mitchell Peterman (1936-2004). The daughter of a man who battled for civil rights, Peterman fought to desegregate the pages of the St. Petersburg Times in the days when the Times had a seperate section for African-Americans. "My mother was a kind and gentle person with a fiery side," said Peterman's son, Florida Representative Frank Peterman.
