@SherryP70005680@ConserValidity@BarackObama Which president didn't leave office a millionaire. Barak wrote one book that made him over $10 million. So, what is your problem?
Most people aren’t talking about the fact that Louisiana has a governors race & we have a lot to lose if the wrong people win. Let me show you the two leading candidates.
@wilsonforla and @JeffLandry

The body cam footage of the fatal shooting of Ta’Kiya Young is hard to watch. Ta’Kiya was pregnant and a mother of 2 when she was shot and killed by an officer. Ta’Kiya’s family deserves answers and accountability! https://t.co/hUWNbScGqT
A man claims in a lawsuit against the Fort Collins (CO) Police Department that an officer body-slammed, choked, and pepper-sprayed him (reportedly resulting in PERMANENT vision loss in one eye) for refusing to accept a citation. He deserves accountability!
On this day in 1838, Frederick Douglass escaped to freedom and found his calling as a leading voice in the abolitionist movement.
Douglass escaped slavery by boarding a train to Havre de Grace, Maryland. He was dressed in a sailor's uniform, provided to him by Anna Murray, (he married her 12 days later, she was a free black woman in Baltimore) she also gave him part of her savings to cover his travel costs, and carried identification papers which he had obtained from a free black seaman.
He crossed the Susquehanna River by ferry at Havre de Grace, then continued by train to Wilmington, Delaware. From there he went by steamboat to "Quaker City" (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) and continued to the safe house of abolitionist David Ruggles in New York; the whole journey took less than 24 hours.
Frederick Douglass later wrote of his arrival in New York:
"I have often been asked, how I felt when first I found myself on free soil. And my readers may share the same curiosity. There is scarcely anything in my experience about which I could not give a more satisfactory answer. A new world had opened upon me. If life is more than breath, and the 'quick round of blood,' I lived more in one day than in a year of my slave life. It was a time of joyous excitement which words can but tamely describe. In a letter written to a friend soon after reaching New York, I said: 'I felt as one might feel upon escape from a den of hungry lions.' Anguish and grief, like darkness and rain, may be depicted; but gladness and joy, like the rainbow, defy the skill of pen or pencil."
Frederick Douglass first tried to escape from Freeland, who had hired him out from his owner Colonel Lloyd, but was unsuccessful. In 1836, he tried to escape from his new owner Covey, but failed again.
In 1837, Douglass met and fell in love with Anna Murray, her freedom strengthened his belief in the possibility of his own.
Once he had arrived, he sent for Murray to follow him to New York; she arrived with the necessary basics for them to set up home. They were married on September 15, 1838, by a black Presbyterian minister eleven days after his arrival in New York.
Morgan Freeman is making a documentary about the 761st Tank Battalion! Also known as the ‘Black Panthers,’ these men were the 1st all-Black tank battalion of WWII! Their story is largely untold but their bravery represents the millions of Black service men who fought in the war!

Labor is the backbone of our city. This Labor Day, and every day, I extend my appreciation for the workers and working families that help make Chicago the greatest city in the world, and the unions that protect their rights.
Thank you for all that you do.
