A Sad Day for Those Who Fought for Fairness
Lost amid all of the hub-bub of the tea dances that were going on today: Benjamin Hooks, the long-time head of the NAACP, died today. He was a true hero of the dispossessed and fought for equality for the Black community in the ever rising tide of Reaganism that was sweeping the country. He will […]
