The release of Jean Renoir's "The Southerner" (1945) provoked intense negative reactions in various locations throughout Southern regions of the USA. Some people from the South viewed the movie as "Sordid depiction of life in the Southern States" & strongly objected it. The film was banned from being shown in Tennessee by Lloyd T. Binford, who served as the head of the Memphis Board of Censors for three decades & considered "The toughest censor in America". Disgusted by the movie, he condemned the film as a "slur against Southern farmers" and for its characters being portrayed as nothing more than "common, lowdown, ignorant white trash".

The Ku Klux Klan also condemned the movie advocated boycotting it at theaters elsewhere in the South. the condemnation of the movie was by no means universal in the region. The United Daughters of the Confederacy was one of the movie's supporters. The organization endorsed the film and complimented how its lead characters exemplified the South's best attributes of "'courage, stout-heartedness and love of our land'"

Jack Kerouac’s book ON THE ROAD was published on this day in 1957.

“Kerouac. He honored life. I had to read everything again that Kerouac wrote—not that I did, but I thought about it differently. All of a sudden, ON THE ROAD…he was talking about the road of life.”—Bob Dylan

#OnThisDay 1965: Skilled workers were busy cleaning soot off St Paul’s Cathedral. Coal fires had stained the building before it was even finished in 1710, so attempts were being made to return it to the condition that its architect Sir Christopher Wren had intended.

#OnThisDay 1968: Volunteers from The Loch Ness Investigation Bureau were hoping to capture on film the elusive Nessie. Some members had already experienced sightings, and with six mobile camera vans and regular practise drills, the team took their work very seriously.

Sometimes the best stories begin with getting caught in the rain. 🌧️

In "The Storm," artist Pierre-Auguste Cot captures a young couple caught in a sudden autumn downpour, racing for shelter while using the heroine's overskirt as an impromptu umbrella.

When Cot exhibited this painting at the Salon of 1880, critics speculated about the source of the subject. Some proposed the painting was inspired by the popular French novel "Paul et Virginie," which tells the story of two childhood friends who fall in love. In one memorable scene, the young couple shelters from a sudden rainstorm beneath a shared piece of fabric, closely echoing Cot's composition.

☔️ Stay dry this week and take a cue from "The Storm." Spend a rainy day at The Met, explore the galleries, and who knows—you might just find your own love story along the way!
