I was born in Birmingham, AL less than a decade after it became ground zero for the civil rights movement (my mother was briefly a teacher at Parker HS during the short time we lived there).

It's actually hard to find a lot about Birmingham that happened my year, but I find myself drawn to the subject. For some reason something today urged me to have another look.

I found two separate newspaper clippings digitized at the Birmingham Public Library - one before and one after I was born (12/4) - about the really great "Black Christ" stained-glass mosaic at the 16th St Baptist Church, bombed in 1963:

Neat stuff! Not entirely sure of the context, and why these stories went up. I think there was some other rioty thing that was happening in the city at the time, so says my mother anyway.

Anyway I'm atheist but this is my heritage, so I can say I love the modern design with all the curves and the greatly more accurate depiction of jesus as not a white person.

Sometimes conspiracies are real and documented. I wonder if this has any ties to Epstein. This stuff is pretty wack. We’ve seen the results of all the shit they’ve pulled.

When I was growing up in the '80s, my family had books of @bagley political cartoons.

This reminds me of a classic one of his. There are protesters holding up signs outside of an X-rated movie. One sign says, "This movie is filth!" Another says, "This movie is trash!" A last one says, "This movie is boring. I wasted my money."

"Hopelessness isn’t natural. It needs to be produced.

If we really want to understand this situation, we have to begin by understanding that for decades we have seen the construction of a vast bureaucratic apparatus for the creation and maintenance of hopelessness, a kind of giant machine that is designed, first and foremost, to destroy any sense of possible alternative futures."
