Hundreds of people rallied for Palestine in the Jackson Heights section of Queens, New York City, on Feb. 24. They gathered in Diversity Plaza, the center of a South Asian community.

“Honor Our Martyrs” was the event’s title. It commemorated the freedom struggles of both the Palestinian and Bengali peoples.

Women at P.S. 69 in Jackson Heights protesting the busing of African-American students from schools in Brooklyn, September 28, 1959. The Board of Education said that this was necessary because of overcrowding in Brooklyn, but it also was doubtless in response to the Supreme Court's ruling in Brown v. Board of Education. This prefigured the vehement anti-busing protests of the 1960s.

At least 400 people turned out this Dec. 29 in the Jackson Heights neighborhood of Queens, New York, to say no to transphobia and all forms of bigotry. They were guarding the Drag Story Hour being held at the local library on 81st Street. Across the street were 30 bigots who sought to harass parents and children. 

Among them were members of the fascist Proud Boys. The bigots were protected by dozens of cops.

Alfred Mosher Butts of Jackson Heights was an unemployed architect when he set out to invent a word game in 1938. Studying the prevalence of letters in printed works and newspapers, Butts devised his first iteration of the game that followed the same letter distribution as Scrabble, but used no board. He devised the game in his Jackson Heights apartment and tested it with community members in the basement of the Community United Methodist Church on 35th Avenue in Jackson Heights.

He originally named his game Lexiko before a rejected patent revealed a second name, Criss-Cross Words. In 1947, Butts's business partner, James Brunot, officially renamed the game to the word meaning "to grasp or grope." After trial and error, Butts eventually developed the game we know and love today.

Scrabble struggled to take off for years until 1952, when the president of Macy’s placed a large order after discovering it on vacation. Soon enough, Scrabble was flying off shelves. The structure of Scrabble has remained the same since, although alterations to the rules have been made four times—in 1953, 1976, 1989, and 1999.
