bobbieinok's JournalSummer 1960 MLK spoke in Tulsa. I got to go and hear him! (I was 20, home from college)
I never saw this mentioned anywhere and wondered sometimes if I'd dreamt it. Then I saw it mentioned in Hannibal Johnson's book on Black Wall Street. And I met a black man who had also been there
I had heard of MLK during the Montgomery Bus Boycott. When I saw he was coming to town, I asked my dad if he could help. One of his colleagues at the university was in the local NAACP and was going. He agreed to take me
It was awesome. There were 6 of us in our group, the only white people there, and we sat way up in the balcony of the black church in North Tulsa, Greenwood area. It was the largest venue for the meeting. Of course none of the buildings in 'white Tulsa' was available
I hate to admit I don't remember a thing he said. I just remember the pageantry of the whole thing---the blacks in attendance dressed up, many in lodge attire. And King being escorted in.
I have no idea why King's visit here is so little known
President's health---Ike heart attack 1955. LBJ gallbladder surgery 1965
12 days after surgery, LBJ has press conference and lifts up shirt to show 12 inch scar. To prove he in great health
But later came out doctors worried about heart problem, possible cancer
As I recall, finding this out afterwords led to a major demand that there must always be transparency about the president's heath---the Congress, govt officials, and public needs this info in order to correctly make decisions
Didn't Wilson's wife conceal his health issues??
And didn't Reagan's wife conceal his?
In each case, didn't wife to some extent secretly take over presidential duties??
Same people who cheered toppling Saddam's statue object to toppling Confederate statues, right?
In 1st case it 'clears the air'. In 2nd it 'destroys history'!!!
RW minister---social distancing really pushed so govt can track individuals by cell phones!
Steve Quayle on JimBakker show past week. Govt claims it's to protect against virus. No way!!
If people are together the cell phone can't be read, and govt can't track them. If people are 6 ft apart, govt cand read individual cell phones and track individuals.
That's esp whybgovt is punishing Christians who don't follow social distance rules. Govt can't track them then and will thus find it nearly impossible to round them up and dispose of them
So Christins MUST NOT ever do social distancing and make it easy for govt to capture and dispose of them
Millions watch the JimBakker show and hear and possibly believe and follow such messages
'How the conservative agenda is being born again through Mike Pence' Charisma magazine. 2019
Stephen Strang, editor, is an avid fan/supporter of Trump
Article states with how Pence is supporting/pushing conservative religion
Lovelace Women's Hospital, Albuquerque, secretly screens pregnant Native women for virus, separates
Sepates Native women from newborn.
Article title Genocide: the Covid Frontier
Horrific tale at lawyersgunsmoney
I found report bit confusing as to details
Seems clear they're treating Native women and their newborn differently.
See what you think

Tractor pulls---a big deal in IA. One for kids in Story City late 90s
It was part of the Story City Scandinavian Days
They had some kids toy tractors. A kid would peddle hard and try to pull a log attached to back of tractor. Fun to watch. My visiting niece seemed to enjoy it.
One yr at IA State's VEISHA celebration (it was stopped b/c of parties that degenerated into fights and riots with injuries and manor property damage) ---people had rigged up John Deere toy tractors with motors etc --everything needed. Then they paired up to see which one could pull the other
Fun to watch. Loud but not like a real pull. You could hear real ones blocks away.
People competing said they spent lots of $$ fixing up the toys to be competitive
