I’m sharing this from a post I saw on FB.
Wasn’t she gorgeous? And smart too. But sadly her story has a tragic ending. And, unfortunately, all together too common.
Alberta Jones, Louisville’s first female black prosecutor, was killed in 1965. The 34- year-old civil rights pioneer was beaten and thrown in the Ohio River. The prosecutor was pulled out of her rental car, beaten in the head with a brick until she lost consciousness and thrown into the Ohio River, where she drowned.
The brutal Aug. 5, 1965, murder of Alberta O. Jones, a civil rights activist and the first woman to become a prosecutor in Louisville, was never solved, despite fingerprints obtained from her car and witnesses who saw men tossing a body from a bridge. Never forget about Jones, a trailblazer who integrated the University of Louisville and worked as the first attorney for Muhammad Ali, who was then Cassius Clay, negotiating the contract for his first fight.
Why are white men so threatened by strong black women? There really is a creature problem down here.
Did anyone happen to make it to the Harry Denton send off that Johnny Love hosted at Harry’s Bar in SF last night? I unfortunately missed it. I’m sure it was a great party. Some of you may not know that Michelle designed the dresses for the cocktail waitresses at the Starlight Room.
RIP Harry!
Thank you for reading today's post. Have an InterStellar Day! ~PrP
No doubt they know who the killers were. They are not alive today or we would deal with them. We have 4 of the people who were aware of those who were the killers. For now they will have to do.
Harry was an exceptional man. Too bad he was set up by the FBI in a cocaine sting.
On October 2, 2021 we witnessed the confrontation between a US nuclear submarine and two China nuclear submarines. The incident occurred when the US submarine was transiting through an area of the South China Sea. The two China submarines warned off the US submarine claiming that it was violating the sovereignty of Chinese territorial waters.
At first the USS Connecticut refused to yield, but when it discovered the two Chinese subs were supported by a surface Sub Destroyer, it began to flee. It was rammed by one of the Chinese subs and suffered enough damage for it to signal the two subs that it was leaving the claimed territorial waters.
The USS Connecticut limped towards Guam for assistance. The US in order to save face has claimed that it hit an uncharted mountain. The clear message from China is that they intend to claim total sovereignty of the entire South China Sea. It would appear that we aliens will be negotiating with a new sea power. Trump’s tenor in office has cost the US its leadership at sea and its ability to defend the nations who navigate those waters. Many small nations are jockeying to determine where to place their sea alliances because the South China Sea is the major artery for their ocean commerce.
