Subscriber Manohlive 2,333 Posted July 30, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted July 30, 2020 (edited) Imagine, after everything John Lewis faced, receiving the highest cinilian honor The United States Of America's can bestow, from a fellow black man who just so happened to be President of The United States Of America. I can't even begin to fathom what both men must have felt in that moment. We've lost too many great black leaders in the past year or so. Read through these lists, if you have a couple minutes. They are quite remarkable. https://newsone.com/playlist/notable-deaths-2019/item/1 https://newsone.com/playlist/notable-deaths-2020/item/60 Edited July 30, 2020 by Manohlive 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Subscriber Manohlive 2,333 Posted August 12, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted August 12, 2020 Mimi Jones - Civil Rights Activist 1947 - 2020. Mimi Jones in 2017, standing in front of the pool in Malcolm X Park in Roxbury. She is holding an iconic photo of the Monson Motor Lodge manager pouring acid into the pool when she and other civil rights activists were holding a swim-in protest at the St. Augustine, Fla., motel on June 18, 1964. An interesting part of this story: 16 Rabbis also got arrested for swimming in support of civil rights. I did not know that until I was reading more on her life and this story. . . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Subscriber padawanbeck84 490 Posted August 29, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted August 29, 2020 Deeply sad news this morning about Chadwick Boseman. Especially shocking as we had no idea he was ill. He made some brilliant films - including the iconic Black Panther - while going through cancer treatment. The strength and courage it must have taken to do that... proper superhero stuff. And so young - only 43 years old https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-53955912 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
