In 2021, President Joe Biden signed into law the bill that had been passed by unanimous consent in the Senate and 415-14 in the House to establish Juneteenth National Independence Day, June 19, as a federal holiday. Juneteenth marks the jubilant day in 1865 when many of the more than 250,000 people who were enslaved in Texas finally learned they were legally free. This deliberately delayed news was delivered by federal troops arriving in Galveston after the end of the Civil War, reaching them more than two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, that freed all people who were enslaved in the Confederate states. Honoring Watch Night, or Freedom’s Eve, on January 1 is a separate tradition in many Black…

While the nation braced to see what would happen next in Los Angeles, on Thursday, a surprising message appeared on President Trump’s Truth Social account. A day after videos emerged of ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) agents chasing after terrified farmworkers trying to hide in California fields, the president suggested in the Truth Social post that he might not fully pursue his core policy proposal of mass deportation after all. Or so it seemed. A closer reading revealed his sympathy was directed not so much toward the workers as toward the agricultural industry and his fellow members of the managerial and ownership class — the bosses who needed the labor that undocumented workers disproportionately provide. “Our great Farmers and people in the Hotel and Leisure business have been stating that…

Lloyd Hall was born on June 20, 1894, in Elgin, Illinois. While attending West Side High School in Aurora, Illinois, he was an honor student and captained the school debate team--while simultaneously competing in baseball, football, and track. Lloyd graduated High School in the top 10 of his class and had to choose between four college scholarship offers. He decided to attend nearby Northwestern University and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Pharmaceutical Chemistry in 1916. Hall was soon hired by sight unseen at the Western Electric Company following a telephone interview. When he showed up for his first day, however, he was told by a personnel officer that "we don't take niggers." Recovering from this insult, he began working for the Chicago Department of Health as a chemist…

Today, I want to assess Saturday’s No Kings protests in the context of American capitalism. Standing up against Trump is not only important politically and morally. It’s also profitable. Diversity, for example, is good for business. CEOs that have scaled back their companies’ diversity programs in response to Trump’s attacks have misread the market and are now suffering the consequences. When Target rolled back DEI, the company confronted a consumer boycott, which led to a 17% drop in the value of its stock. A similar boycott of Walmart has contributed to an 18% drop in its stock value in the past month alone. Palantir, a data analysis and technology firm whose contracts with the federal government are expanding, has taken heat over its rejection of DEI and coziness with Trump.…

Lord, Help Us To Like And Love Others And Be Liked And Loved By Others. Amen. To be successful in life, you need three things. First, the blessings of God. Second, a good education. Third, a likable and pleasant personality. Now, the blessings of God come from reading His Word and developing prayer and worship in your life.
