Starring Misty Rowe (HeeHaw, Happy Days) this show receives great audience acclaim and immeasurable box office success .“Wonderful!” Carolyn Fox, City news Service “This Always…Patsy Cline is a LETTER OF LOVE to the humanity and music of Miss Patsy Cline…” Don Grigware, Broadwayworld.
Notably: On this day in 1893 President Benjamin Harrison, exceeded in fame among U.S. and French presidents only by Millard Filmore, Chester Arthur and Nicolas Sarkozy, pardoned all polygamists who’d at least abstained from amassing wives and concubines since Nov. 1, 1890. He promised that those who would not obey the law after his pardon would be “vigorously prosecuted,” which was sure to be an attractive twist to look forward to for many of them. The New York Times reported on the proclamation on its front page (not a difficult thing in days when the front page carried about 200 stories in the kind of type that would make a grown man weep), just below the fold, the lead stories going to a gas explosion in Chicago and the attempted lynching of an alleged murderer, Calvin Snipes, in Knoxville, Tenn., that resulted in the death of eleven deputies and “eleven members of the mob” killed as the mob tried to get at Snipes in a local jail. That story of course is a lot more interesting than Harrison’s pardon.

It is very clear, then, that if Negroes got their conception of religion from slaveholders, libertines, and murderers, there may be something wrong about it, and it would not hurt to investigate it. It has been said that the Negroes do not connect morals with religion. The historian would like to know what race or nation does such a thing. Certainly the whites with whom the Negroes have come in contact have not done so.
–From Carter G. Woodson, from The Miseducation of the Negro (1933).
