Earth, Wind & Fire helped pave much of the road that Michael Jackson would later travel. They demonstrated that Black American music could reach massive crossover audiences without abandoning its musical depth, spirituality, or uplifting themes. Their high-vibrational message, elaborate stage productions, pyrotechnics, illusions, and arena-sized performances helped establish the blueprint for the modern pop spectacle.
In many ways, Michael Jackson took elements that Earth, Wind & Fire had already pioneered and elevated them to an even greater commercial level through his extraordinary dancing, visual storytelling, and solo star power. While MJ transformed the formula, Earth, Wind & Fire helped create the foundation.
Post-WWII, US policy shifted from punishing Japan to rebuilding it. This led to Japan receiving reparations and tech, boosted by the Korean War. A surprising turn of events that reshaped an economy. #History#USPolicy#Japan

Prosecutors in the Karmelo Anthony trial illegally challenged the only 3 black jurors.

They're not even hiding the fact this is a racial lynching.
🛑 When do white suspects ever get an ALL BLACK jury?
This judge has demanded NO CAMERAS, a gag order and now he and the "prosecutors" have approved a racially cleansed jury in a city that had had a nonstop racial harassment campaign against the family.
No corruption here at all
Karmelo Anthony to be tried by an all-white jury after prosecutors intentionally challenged the three potential black jurors. This is illegal (Batson v. Kentucky).
Black men in particular are specifically targeted and consistently excluded from juries.
