happy bday Jamaican-American writer Claude McKay, b.1890, leader in the Harlem Renaissance.
"If we must die, O let us nobly die,
So that our precious blood may not be shed
In vain; then even the monsters we defy
Shall be constrained to honor us though dead!
O kinsmen! we must meet the common foe!"

Let us be grateful we had President Eisenhower at the time since he stepped in on behalf of the black students and enforced racial integration. Today Trump and his MAGA cult would step in, but this time on behalf of the angry whites.
on this day in 1957 Arkansas governor Orval Faubus has the National Guard block 9 African American students from entering Central High School in Little Rock. Hundreds of angry whites gathered who spat on and jeered these brave nine.

Gloria Steinem was one of the most remarkable people I ever met. She had this glowing aura of intellgience and charisma, you absolutely could not look away from her. But she never left behind her journalist's curiousity. She asked questions; she really listened. What a loss, but also what a life.

Enjoyed this Esquire feature on the Churchwell brothers. IMO, they are among the last elegantly dressed men in the United States. Notably, neither are "fashion influencers." They are both distinguished cardiologists with great taste and a lifetime relationship with the same tailor.
