#OTD Jan. 2, 1903 – Major Taylor prepares for his 1st race of the year, set for Jan. 3 in Sydney. On the voyage he'd learned of the “White Australia” policy & a 1901 law excluding non-white non-Europeans (e.g., Chinese workers). He was relieved to find this did not apply to him.

#OTD Aug. 1, 1901 – Major Taylor was kicked out of Vanderbilt hotel in Syracuse, NY. He tried "I guess you don’t know who I am," to no avail. “At the St. Cloud where most of the bicycle riders are quartered a feeling of indignation runs high in regard to the treatment of Taylor.”

#OTD 5/27/1901 PARIS - Major Taylor wins revenge match vs. Edmond Jacquelin, who had thumbed his nose after winning on May 16. This time Major unnerved his foe w/ a pre-race handshake. The French champ's "sneering smile disappeared," Taylor wrote.

A year ago, Ahmaud Arbery was shot and killed while on a run. As we remember Ahmaud today, we commit to building a future where Black Americans no longer have to live in fear— simply because of the color of their skin.
