Please refer to your AP or writing style book and you will see that writer is correct.. The use of a capital letter would have been incorrect at that point in the sentence since it is not a persons name.
Thanks,
Local Professor for Cultural Affairs

@APStylebook is a great follow, fwiw. Especially for the grammar (small g)estapo.
Now, can we get back to these (capital G)reat Kids!?!

Thank goodness there weren't any controversial statues in MV or Los Altos to tear down. I understand that ones of Ulysses S. Grant, Francis Scott Key and Junipero Serra were removed in San Francisco.
A tribute to Booker T. Washington should also be included as he perfected the peanut which is both a key agricultural product and culinary ingredient.
Commercial trademarks such as Aunt Jemima & Uncle Ben's will either be removed and/or revised and Mrs. Butterworth's is also rumored to be on the cutting block.
That leaves Betty Crocker (who should also be removed) as a symbol of white cooking supremacy in the household kitchen.
