I AM A MAN @ 50
(Photo: Ernest C. Withers)
One of the most contentious labor strikes happened fifty years ago and came to a crescendo on this date when an iconic photo was taken by Ernest C. Withers. He was the photographer for many of the famous moments in the history of the Civil Rights movement. In the city of Memphis, Tennessee, the labor movement and the civil rights movement came together in a monumental struggle for human and public employee rights. On February 11, over 1,300 sanitation workers — nearly all were African American — went on strike demanding their basic rights to organize a union, to gain a living wage and to receive the respect and dignity due all working men and women. During the strike Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. came to Memphis to support the workers but was tragically assassinated.
On this day, Withers took this photo that has lived on in American pop culture.

Trump isn't talking about Stormy because he wants to keep open his options as to what is his story. He wants to deny the affair in general, but is worried that he will have to address this under oath. After all, she only let him poke her once--not too impressive for a big-time playboy. And maybe there's DNA evidence on that Forbes magazine with his picture on the cover. "Hey, you got something on your nose there!"
Nice Post,I really like this Blog.
I just saw my first "Chrin for Congress" sign. (He's running in Cartwright's district. Mine too, for that matter.) That reminded me that, around the time the final list of candidates submitting candidate petitions came out, I posted a simple comment here asking whether Chrin had yet to move into the district but it wasn't published.
I realize that perhaps the submitted post simply somehow fell through the cracks. Then again, it also might be that it was intentionally not posted. In that case: I noticed a recent suggestion here that the reason for a deleted post be indicated, and I'd like to add a suggestion that any reasonable comments not posted be noted by Yonk and the reason for not publishing it explained.
I'm sure that some truly wretched stuff gets submitted, and maybe that doesn't need any explanation. The rest of us won't even know about it. But in the case of my comment about Chrin, I truly don't see a rationale. Chrin was clear when he indicated that he was going to run for Congress that he still was living in New Jersey, so there's no rumor-mongering here. Had the comment been posted, I might even know whether Chrin now lives in the district.
Heyna or no?
