#Aug. 28
Paul Robeson speaks to reporters on August 28, 1949, about the riot in Peekskill where he was supposed to sing. The local KKK (yes, there was one) objected to his open admiration for Communism (as well as, no doubt, his color) and tore down the stage on which he was supposed to appear. Busloads of Harlem residents had gone to the concert, a benefit for the Harlem chapter of the Civil Rights Congress. Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, and Lee Hays were also on the bill. The ensuing riot injured eight people, two seriously.
Robeson asked Governor Thomas Dewey to open an investigation of the riot, but he refused.

never gonna beat the abo-enjoyer allegations so i may as well just come out: yes i like the extremely flawed trope of the alpha/beta/omega dynamic, but specifically in fics where it criticizes its own society's prejudices and questions the oversexualization of its own system, biological or otherwise—in a sort of meta reflection of reality; sexual assault, abuse, the clash of purity culture and virgin-ridicule, the erasure of asexuality, etc.
ik we're in it for the porn but god does it hit different when it tries, yknow?

“1 found it, from before the beginning. A video lost.
These ideas did go from paper to screen. I was there, but no one ever saw it - at least not to my knowledge.
I've just been going over the lore tonight and it hit me: What if it was never released because it said too much...
What if I've been harboring the end this whole time?
The fight to escape has been raging longer than anyone realizes. Were these the original battle plans?”

The construction of Lincoln Center required the obliteration of the neighborhood known as San Juan Hill. It was home to a large population of Blacks, Puerto Ricans, and Afro-Caribbeans when Harlem was still White. Also known as "the Jungles," it was the setting for West Side Story, which opened on Broadway in 1957. It also had a lot of middle-class White residents.
As that was happening, residents were fighting the proposal for an arts complex in the Lincoln Square part of the neighborhood. The poster above urged residents to attend a meeting to stop the project on August 28, 1957. Harris L. Present, a lawyer who had long advocated for the rights of minority groups in the city, led the fight. More than 400 residents showed up. Present urged them to march on City Hall on September 11, hoping to overwhelm the City Planning Commission with pickets and testimony.
Check back here on September 11, 2023, for the sequel. (Spoiler: Lincoln Center was built anyway.)

Hi, i was wondering if you have the screenshot of this panel where sebastian is holding ciel's face upside down and saying something like i shall reclaim your soul as mine or something like that??? Is at the end of the flashback when they met for the first time in ciel's pov. I wanna get it tattooed but im no sure if the pic i have is the one with the official translation in english
Yeah, it's already posted. There are two versions. One at the end of ch138, and another at the beginning of ch139. It's not the end of the flashback, though.

„tauchgang ins ungewisse“??? 👀👀
ist das ein kari erlhoff fall oder warum hat das so ein interessantes konzept
like
die grey-familie!!
bob soll undercover ermitteln und er darf peter und justus nichts davon verraten!!
die drei fragezeichen erleben Konsequenzen für ihre gesetzesbrüche?? cotta wird teilweise mit reingezogen?? (bzw. auch bedroht. ich mein, wenn herauskommt, dass er beweise unterschlagen und sie zu oft gedeckt hat, kann das ganz schön ungemütlich werden)
das hat einfach ähnliche vibes wie „der namenlose gegner“ und „straße des grauens“. das muss kari erlhoff sein
(checked. yes it is)
