"Wearing gold turtle and crocodile talismans in her hair, the Queen Mother of the neighboring kingdom of Adioukrou displays her status. Magnificently bedecked in gold jewelry, she exhibits her husband’s substantial authority and worth. This ostentatious display is known as the coming-of-wealth ritual and publicly declares that a man has reached an impressive stage in the accumulation of riches. Sprinkled on her face is gold dust, once the main currency of all Akan peoples."
"The gold jewellery worn by the royal guests at the Ashanti King's Silver Jubilee is not only highly impressive but conveys important symbolic meaning. This Paramount Chief wears a medallion and headband decorated with stylised moon and star motif, reflecting the proverb "The evening star desires of being married, always stays close to the moon." The design signifies fidelity, both of a husband to his wife and a subject to his king."

The imaginary Kilroy became a super hero to the G.I.s. Wherever they went, he was there, welcoming the Greatest Generation with a simple quote, ‘KILROY WAS HERE!’ Kilroy was part of home, part of why we fight, part of American spirit.

a hurricane caused Tim Duncan to take up basketball. He grew up in the US Virgin Islands, and trained to be an Olympic swimmer like his big sister... until Hurricane Hugo destroyed the island's only Olympic pool. He was too afraid of sharks to swim in the ocean, so he tried basketball instead (en.wikipedia.org)

65 years ago today, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Alabama’s policy of racial segregation on public buses, ending the Montgomery Bus Boycott, made famous by Rosa Parks.
Civil rights lawyers filed a lawsuit in June and a three-judge panel of the District Court ruled 2-1 that “the enforced segregation of black and white passengers on motor buses operating in the City of Montgomery violates the Constitution and laws of the United States” because the conditions deprived people of equal protection under the Fourteenth Amendment.
Alabama and the city appealed, but the decision was summarily affirmed by the Supreme Court, which ordered them to desegregate its buses with an official written notice by federal marshals.
