Angelou was commemorated with a Forever Stamp by the U.S. Postal Service in 2015 for her contributions to arts, culture and equality. Join us for a fascinating look at the life and legacy of Dr. Maya Angelou.

Notably: A curious conjunction of occurrences on this day. in 1944, while about 2,000 Black soldiers were among the Allied troops gathering in Britain for the Normandy landing a few weeks later, to free Europe from fascism and race supremacy, the U.S. Supreme Court voted 8-1 in a ruling declaring the Black vote legitimate after all. Lonnie Smith had tried to vote in a Texas primary in 1940. He presented his poll ta receipt (back when those suppressive means were legal, as they now are again in Florida and a few other states, under different guises), but was told that, being Black (or “Negro,” in the day’s parlance, assuming, kindly that he was not called other names) he could not vote. He sued and won. Justice Owen Roberts dissented, calling saying his colleagues showed “intolerance” toward precedent. On the same day, today, in 1968, Martin Luther King delivered his I’ve Been to the Mountaintop speech in Memphis. The next day, James Earl Ray, a fugitive from a Missouri prison shot and killed him.

Anything is possible, it can be said, if you believe in miracles. Perhaps God did create all organisms, including human beings, in finished form, in one stroke, and maybe it all happened several thousand years ago. But if that is true, he also salted the earth with false evidence in such endless and exquisite detail, and so thoroughly from pole to pole, as to make us conclude first that life evolved, and second that the process took billions of years. Surely Scripture tells us He would not do that. The Prime Mover of the Old and New Testaments is variously loving, magisterial, denying, thunderously angry, and mysterious, but never tricky.

–From Edward O. Wilson’s Consilience (1998).

    Is that “RAINBOW” cartoon meant to make a mockery of parents trying to shield their children from the on going assault by
    the woke, liberal, lgbtqP community on all things moral and wholesome; Or am I misreading it ?
    If it is I have A LOT to say; but I will hold my comments until I am sure of it’s intent.

    The old brain is dripping again:
    About today’s cartoon:

    Q. What is an example of refracted light?

    A. https://www.google.com/search?q=Refracted+light

    “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”
    ― Albert Einstein

    “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though no one is a miracle. The other is as though everyone is a miracle.”
    ― Pogo, paraphrasing Albert Einstein

    Speaking of coincidence: Justice Owen Roberts, meet Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr. — I believe you two have more in common than a name.

    wm.nagle: I am so tired of people not knowing what woke is. It’s like banging one’s head against a wall. Yes, that’s what the cartoon meant. I guess you are saying you are the judge of all things moral and wholesome.

    Let’s just, for one moment, say you don’t understand that people are born the way they are. I was born “straight.” Nothing on this planet can change that. But even when people are straight, would you not agree that there is a spectrum of that as well? I was what was considered a “Tomboy.” My granddaughter is considered a “girly girl.” We behaved very differently. As embryos, we all start out with tails, and we are all female. Hormones kick in and we become who we are.

    We know that there is a spectrum of autism, right? Some have great difficulty connecting with others, while some are very high functioning. Some are geniuses. Is it fair to judge them as moral or immoral, wholesome or not?

    If you think being straight, gay or non-binary is a choice, please tell me exactly when and why you made your choice.

    What if your time passes and you are face to face with God, and God asks you “Why are you so angry with my creations?” Will you have a lot to say then too?
