The protests continue to have ripple effects.

Should be interesting to see what BLM make of history being taught about how the civil rights movement shunned the gay Black man.

Same as we're seeing about misogyny in the civil rights movement and racism among the suffragettes, Bambi.

An awareness of the need to do better.

“A tiny percentage of death...”

or...
Quote
Nothing’s risk-free in life,” DeSantis said. “There’s nothing we can do that’s going to be zero. But the risks are, what I would say low for the students,... So in that sense, you take that and then you have to look, what are the costs of not offering in-person, and then make that judgment.”

Meanwhile, doctors across the state are urging school leaders to keep schools closed.

What they could also teach in classrooms is how the slaves actually got to America, sold off to slave traders by the  Black village chiefs/ Black traditional leaders in Africa, who made lots of money..."Black privilege"...and whose descendents now refuse to apologise for it all....reportedly.

Divide and conquer, allying with one group of natives against another, is probably the oldest colonial prescription.  Cortez used this to rampage through Mexico half a mellenia ago.  500th years anniversary next year..

I too once met a girl in Central Park, but it is not much to remember. What I remember is the time John Wayne killed three men with a carbine as he was falling to the dusty street in Stagecoach, and the time the kitten found Orson Welles in the doorway in The Third Man.
