Lamar Smith was one of many Black leaders murdered in the 20th century in the South who risked their lives to ensure that Black Americans could exercise their constitutional right to vote in places where that right had been denied to them for generations. eji.org/news/the-history-of-…

Historians @SharronWConrad and @EllenFitzp remember #JFK’s “remarkable televised speech on civil rights,” on June 11, 1963, “the first presidential address,” they write, “condemning at length #segregation as a moral wrong, unworthy of a great country.”

"I always sit around and wonder if this hadn’t happened to me, you know, what could I have turned out to be?" Mr. Thompson later told his brother. "It just destroyed our life.”

It is so tiring & demoralizing to continuously declare that I'm hearing impaired....having to ask people (repeatedly) to speak up in meetings, to explain I'm the one that turned on Zoom closed captions, etc.
@NPRKelly you know what I'm feeling?

This @zoegberg story is nuts.
"At midnight before the tour, Patten texted Scannapieco, 'Please have fresh coffee (with milk and sugar) and the best croissant in Philadelphia ready for me upon arrival,' he wrote. 'Director Thorsen likes Diet Coke.' inquirer.com/news/philadelph…
