The Artemis II mission was important for a whole generation of people:

While awaiting the crew's safe return to Earth, Butler-Craig, a black NASA engineer, said she would be reciting the Bible verse tattooed on her arm from James 1:12.

“Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because having stood the test, they will receive the crown of life.”

Sie können mir erzählen, was Sie wollen. Ich halte Kristen Stewart für die derzeitig aufregendste Frau im (amerikanischen) Filmgeschäft. Mir ist sie schon 2002 an der Seite von Jodie Foster aufgefallen – und da war sie eigentlich noch ein Kind. Seitdem habe ich kaum etwas von ihr verpasst. Und ich sehe in ihr eine würdige Nachfolgerin eben all jener meiner persönlichen Filmgöttinnen. Darunter, ganz ohne jeden Zweifel, auch und besonders: Jean Seberg. (ARD, Wh.)

Today in Labor History March 28, 1977: AFSCME Local 1644 struck in Atlanta, Georgia, for a pay raise. This local of mostly African American sanitation workers saw labor and civil rights as part of the same struggle. They saw their fight as a continuation of the 1968 Memphis sanitation strike. For several years, they organized to get black civil rights leaders elected to public office. They succeeded in getting their man, Maynard Jackson, elected mayor of Atlanta. After all, as vice mayor, Jackson had supported their 1970 strike. Yet, in his first three years as mayor, he refused to give them a single raise. Consequently, their wages dropped below the poverty line for a family of four. Jackson accused AFSCME of attacking Black Power by challenging his authority. He fired over 900 workers by April 1 and crushed the strike by the end of April. Many believe this set the precedent for Reagan’s mass firing of 11,000 air traffic controllers during the PATCO strike, in 1981.

A Sister Gaby immediately calls out a white woman Liz when she repeats what Gaby expressed in Ebonics.

Liz immediately stops without white fragility.

@thispastorslife, a white pastor wrote the below. I mentioned that they are white bc over 75% white people are racist - source below; so it's worth pointing out when a white person is cool.
