So, a State Trooper and a Deputy were walking down the
highway. The trooper asked why cows have such a hard time in traffic and the
deputy explained that their horns don’t work.

NPR: How Black activists used lynching souvenirs to expose American violence
Please be aware that although this content comes from NPR – it is nevertheless really disturbing.
From 1880 to 1968, over 4000 African Americans were lynched in the United States. Like picnics or parties, lynchings were often carnival-like events commemorated through photos and postcards. This film tells the story of how Black activists subverted these souvenirs, which were celebrations of white supremacy, in the fight against lynching. Executive produced by Stanley Nelson and Marcia Smith. A Doc NYC Short Shortlist selection.
February is Black History Month in the U.S., and this year's theme is Black Health and Wellness. NPR has compiled a list of stories, music performances, podcasts and other content that chronicles the Black American experience.
For her new documentary, Lynching Postcards: Token Of A Great Day, filmmaker Christine Turner examined hundreds of black-and-white photographs that show how organized these events were and included chilling messages that shared the experience with those who weren't there.

Photos showing the lynchings of African Americans in the 19th and early 20th century are some of the most troubling records of the racist history of the United States.
But these black-and-white photographs are what filmmaker Christine Turner chose to focus on for her new documentary, Lynching Postcards: 'Token Of A Great Day'.
Turner examined hundreds of these pictures and primarily focused on the ones that people who attended these lynchings sent as postcards to family and friends.
As the film opens, the first postcard people see is an image of a Black man hanging from a tree, but it's zoomed in enough that all that can be seen of him are his dangling feet. The focus then becomes the white men standing behind him, looking directly at the camera, with some smiling.

“Send Me” was the ‘Song of the Day’ in the contemporary service at Grace Lutheran Church on Sunday, February 6, 2022. It is certainly one of my favorites. Especially since I always associate it with one of my favorite Bible passages – and a favorite of many first responders: Isaiah 6 verses 1-8, especially verse 8: Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!” Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”
"Send Me" Jenn Johnson feat. Chris Quilala. Premiered Sep 28, 2021. "Send Me" was written by Brandon Lake, Jenn Johnson, and Kari Jobe Carnes.

Slave Narratives: A first-person narrative pertaining to the history of slavery in the United States (often referred to as the WPA Slave Narrative Collection) is a massive compilation of histories by former slaves undertaken by the Federal Writers' Project of the Works Progress Administration. The body of work had its beginning in the second year of the Federal Writers' Project … in 1936…” Between 1936- 1938, the project, in part, “recorded interviews with ex-slaves...” The body of work created by the project now resides in the Library of Congress in Washington DC.

February is Black History Month. The annual celebration of
achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing their central role
in U.S. history can trace its origins to 1926, when a black scholar named
Carter G. Woodson launched a week-long campaign to focus national attention on the
contributions of black people on American society. Submitted photo
On January 26, 1931, Westminster Firefighter Joe Hahn died.
Honoring & Remembering Maryland Fallen Heroes. Westminster Fire Eng. & Hose Co.1~Carroll County, Maryland
On January 26, 1931, our brothers and sisters in the Westminster Fire Engine and Hose Co. No. 1 and the greater Carroll County community suffered one the two Line of Duty Deaths in the company's history when Fireman Joseph G. Hahn died.
At approximately 10:00 a.m. on Monday January 26,1931, the Westminster Fire Engine & Hose Co.No.1 responded to the Oscar Hess residence, on the Manchester State Road near Cranberry, for a gasoline stove explosion in the kitchen.
The flames were quickly extinguished by the Westminster firemen. The kitchen was mostly destroyed from the blast, but the rest of the house was saved, having suffered only smoke damage and some broken windowpanes.
While the firemen were performing salvage and overhaul, Fireman Joseph G. Hahn suffered a heart attack and fell over. Before medical aid could be summoned, death occurred.
Fireman Joseph G. Hahn was 46 years old. Number of years served is unknown at this time.
