On June 19, 1865, Union troops landed on the Texas shores to let the enslaved people of the state know they had been freed from slavery more than two years earlier on January 1, 1863 by Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation.

Today, we laid Samantha Woll to rest, surrounded by thousands who knew her and were impacted by her. She was a proud Jewish woman and a deep believer in the cause of interfaith dialogue, and the crowd, full of people of all faiths, represented that commitment.

Apple doesn’t want any more problems with Jon Stewart. His Apple TV+ talk show, ‘The Problem with Jon Stewart’, has been canceled after two seasons, reportedly due to creative differences over potential show topics like AI and China. https://t.co/TjqUWK96ni

Frank Sinatra was a fervent anti-racist and an early activist during the civil rights movement. He refused to stay at hotels and play at clubs that did not admit black people. His band would also provide equal pay and treatment for black musicians. It was through his relentless and tireless efforts that Las Vegas quickly became integrated.

In an interview in 2016, Frank Sinatra, Jr. had this to say about his father: "In the days when Las Vegas began to become popular, the black performers could play in showrooms, but they couldn't stay in the hotel. And it was Frank Sinatra who went to the board of directors, who had rather shady pasts, and he said, 'Are you guys going to come into the twentieth century, or aren't you?'... Somebody said 'Well, we have white people, we have black people." Sinatra, the story goes, said to them, 'The money is green. How about that?' And they began to look at each other, and the wheels were turning, and because of Sammy (Davis), Las Vegas became integrated.

Sinatra was also a significant supporter of Martin Luther King and helped him raise money to support the Civil Rights Movement by headlining fundraisers. In 1958, he wrote in Ebony Magazine: "A friend to me has no race, no class and belongs to no minority. My friendships are formed out of affection, mutual respect, and a feeling of having something in common. These are eternal values that cannot be classified."

The “Blue” Fugates were a Kentucky family with a rare condition called methemoglobinemia, which makes the skin blue.

This condition was made considerably worse due to inbreeding.

Zachariah Fugate married his aunt, their son married a cousin, & their children married cousins, etc.
