The FBI released its 2021 Hate Crimes Report today.
It shows a gross lack of reporting on hate crimes in cities across the country.

Congrats to @CityOfDallas and @FBIDallas on launching their new anti-hate campaign, which encourages citizens to report hate crimes, regardless of their immigration status or ethnicity. If you, or someone you know, were the victim of a hate crime report it at 1-800-CALL-FBI.

At age 14, with her nation at war with Nazi Germany, then-Princess Elizabeth gave her first radio address, urging children to be brave. At 18, she joined the war effort, training as a mechanic. As Queen, she inspired many with a life of service and left a lasting legacy. 📸 Alamy

Today is the anniversary of the first day of school in Little Rock, AR in 1957. The “Little Rock Nine”, all black students, attempted to attend classes at Central High School. Arkansas' National Guard and a violent mob, gathered in front of the school to prevent their entrance.

Toward the end of September, President Dwight D. Eisenhower deployed the 101st Airborne Division to protect the 9 students and enforce their right to an education. The “Little Rock Nine” became the first black students to attend Central High School.
