Notably: Medgar Evers, the civil rights leader and a field secretary of the NAACP in Mississippi, is assassinated by white supremacist Byron De La Beckwith after living through so many years of death threats that his family and young children had trained for what we now call “active shooters” for much of that time–as school children now do across the country. An all-white jury deadlocked in De La Beckwith’s trial. He was not convicted for murder until 1994. He died in prison in 2001. It is also the anniversary of Miranda v. Arizona, the 1966 Supreme Court Decision that gave us those immortal words: ““You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you.”

Oh it was gorgeousness and gorgeosity made flesh. The trombones crunched redgold under my bed, and behind my gulliver the trumpets three-wise silverflamed, and there by the door the timps rolling through my guts and out again crunched like candy thunder. Oh, it was wonder of wonders. And then, a bird of like rarest spun heavenmetal, or like silvery wine flowing in a spaceship, gravity all nonsense now, came the violin solo above all the other strings, and those strings were like a cage of silk round my bed. Then flute and oboe bored, like worms of like platinum, into the thick thick toffee gold and silver. I was in such bliss, my brothers.
–From Anthony Burgess’s A Clockwork Orange (1962).

That cartoon paints all Republicans with a broad brush. Let’s see a cartoon about the summer of burning American cities, rioting in the capital and burning down the church across the street from the White House painting the Democrats with a broad brush.
