@AllenLEllison - A message for Ron DeSantis. White supremacists are jumping on your anti-woke bandwagon because it serves their agenda. You love it and accept it because it serves yours. They are one in the same.

A couple days late on this, but an important read nonetheless.

"In short, identity and representation matter. How many Black girls even enter the sport in the future will be influenced by what they see as attainable or impossible."

Next time you a visit a doctors office or turn on your oven thank Thomas A. Carrington, a Black-American inventor who invented the Range Oven and the Stethoscope. Thomas A. Carrington made the Stethoscope in 1882 and it was patented in the same year.

In 1937, George Hardison made wrestling history as the first Black world champion, but his career was far from over. Part 2 of my biography of "Seelie Samara" continues as I trace his path around the globe.

With a final day of this year's , I'd like to offer a link to a discussion I find both uplifting and wholesomely grounded.

It's a panel discussion of "Black and Buddhist: What Can Teach Us about Race, Resilience, Transformation, and Freedom" (in reference to a recent book of the same title).

I read that the next YellowStone spin off will feature a man called Bass Reeves. The first first black deputy U.S. marshal west of the Mississippi River.

The Jubalaires were a gospel group active between 1940 and 1950 who many have considered the first rappers/rap group.

Seelie Samara is a name almost no one has heard of. But what if I told you he was the first Black world heavyweight champion - and years before Jackie Robinson would break baseball's color barriers.

For the first time ever, the Story of Seelie Samara is told. This is the first part of a three parts series for Slam Wrestling.

John Standard (born June 15, 1868) made it easier to keep food hot or cold. His 1889 patent for an oil stove involved a novel compact design that he envisioned to use for buffet style meals on trains. Two years later he also rearranged and combined parts for an advanced non-electric refrigerator with a manually filled ice chamber. John Standards' refrigerator could be used in hospitals.
