@tarantarans I can kind of agree with you on Paula Abdul's birthday. However, I don't know if you were around in 1986, & quite possibly you were not, but the drug overdose of Len Bias was a huge event and it was actually a major catalyst in the escalation on the Reagan Administration's war on drugs. Of course since this AP and only gives you snippets of news it would otherwise impossible to put the story in context.

Two lousy picks for this video: Paula Abdul's birthday and that Celtic draft guy. Those are insignificant events. Come on, AP...

Juneteenth and Slavery

"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course other may take; but as for me, give me LIBERTY or give me death!"

Patrick Henry, March 23 1775
