Mr. Rogers made a courageous decision to defy the racial segregation norms of 1969 by extending an invitation to Officer Clemmons to join him in cooling their feet in a shared pool. At that time, pools in America were strictly segregated, and Black individuals faced the threat of police intervention if they attempted to enter white-only pools. Recognizing the injustice, Mr. Rogers took a stand by featuring Officer Clemmons on his show. It is worth noting that Officer Clemmons also faced additional challenges as a homosexual, which only became public knowledge years later. Mr. Rogers, being a compassionate individual, advised Clemmons to keep his sexuality private to protect him from potential harm caused by homophobia. It is important to highlight that Mr. Rogers, as a devout Christian, regarded the act of washing someone's feet as a gesture of respect and hospitality within Christian culture. This remarkable story exemplifies Mr. Rogers' unwavering dedication to goodness and kindness in the world.
@acnewsitics Congratulations! Good food and water help. Definite progress. I’d suggest the Runner’s World Cookbook as well. Easy, tasty, healthy, and satisfying recipes.
@HonestLarry1 I was at a New Haven Nighthawks game with my Bantam friends. Word got out that Bobby Orr was in the barn scouting for the Blackhawks at the end of his career. We swarmed, ripping apart a popcorn box, and he autographed a shard for each and every one of us. Awe-struck. Amazing.
@acnewsitics Set a goal and sign up for a 5K. Build a training plan around it. The running community is great. Runner’s World’s, Run Less, Run Faster is a good general resource, whatever your running goals may be.
Ukrainians are waging a fight that would make our own forefathers proud. Now we must ensure they can finish the fight, and stop Russia, so our troops don't have to fight a European war. #SlavaUkraïni
Please share! 🇺🇸🇺🇦
So here are the two charts you need to win any argument over whether gun laws matter.
1. America, with more guns than any other high income nation, is a wild outlier of gun violence.
2. States with stronger gun laws have much less gun crime.
