Today’s Times had a full two-page spread with a map of all the towns in the U.S. that had demonstrations for racial justice in the last two weeks. Every state in the nation had protests and demonstrations, including North and South Dakota, Wyoming, Alaska, and Idaho. Pennsylvania had a large number of towns listed, including Lehighton and Palmerton. I think Lansford also had one, but maybe the list was compiled before that one occurred.
Our little county is not exactly a hot bed of activism. It went for Trump big time in 2016. Less than three percent of its population is African American. Most of the people in the protests, including LInda, were white. I’m proud of our county. We did well.
P.S.: I'm also rather pleased with our Supreme Court. Way to go Roberts and Gorsuch. Who would have thought? It's been a good day.
