Direct Quotes

Since 2016, Lee has trekked the country in those laced-up sneakers to push for national recognition of Juneteenth, which commemorates June 19, 1865. On that day, Union soldiers brought the news of freedom to enslaved Black people in Galveston, Tex. — more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation.

While millions of Black Americans like Lee have long marked the day commemorating their freedom, other people in the United States still grapple with how to meaningfully observe the newest national holiday.

But activists say this recognition is important for everyone. “It’s not just a Black holiday,” said Alicia Austion, executive director of the Juneteenth Foundation. “It’s a national holiday, an American holiday that we all should lean in and really acknowledge and support.”

“It’s just like Veterans Day and Memorial Day,” he said. “It’s a time to stop and think about the history, your own history or the history of a friend.”

Clinton was speaking to one of New York’s largest hip-hop and R&B stat...

Joe Biden should take the same test.

https://www.nytimes.com/article/trump-cognitive-test.html Joe Biden should take the same test. The media, including the Washington Post, continued to down play the difficulty of the test and even said the test is too “blunt” of an instrument and for most people it’s too “easy” and “the test is not that difficult”. If that is true, then the genius that is president now should have no problem! Direct Quote: But it is by no means definitive, or even diagnostic, experts pointed out. And as the president tries to draw a contrast between his mental faculties and those of Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., a fellow septuagenarian he expects to face off against in November’s election, some experts criticize his politicization of such cognitive screening tests. “You would think he would understand clearly what the test result was and why the test was done,” Dr. Karlawish said, “and not turn it into a competition about mental health.” This screening test was designed about 20 years ago as a pos...
