Explainer: What happens next in the US court battle over Trump's tariffs?
A federal appeals panel on Thursday appeared skeptical of U.S. President Donald Trump's argument that a 1977 law historically used for sanctioning enemies or freezing their assets gave him the power to impose tariffs.

DEI should never have included formerly enslaved Africans freed from slavery. After 1865, their communities were destroyed by white violent mobs and rioters. They were lynched. They were forced to live in fear, housing burned, businesses destroyed. Heritage destroyed. Family name eliminated.

#ResistanceRoots #Voices4Victory What caused the Great Depression? Most people would say the stock market crash of 1929. That was probably the No. 1 factor, but the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 made it worse. The act raised tariffs on over 20,000 imported goods by almost 60%. /1

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1848: The first women’s rights convention begins in Seneca Falls, N.Y. Organized by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and local Quaker women, the Seneca Falls Convention was an important early step in women’s efforts to gain greater civil, legal and social rights. /1

After a series of lectures and discussions, the 300 attendees were presented with a Declaration of Sentiments and resolutions for debate and modification. Stanton wrote the Declaration in the style of the Declaration of Independence, emphasizing that women’s rights were also “self-evident.” /2

The Declaration then lists women’s grievances against the patriarchy, including being denied rights to property, a thorough education and fair employment. Among the resolutions was a demand for the right to vote, an issue that was debated vigorously, with some attendees wanting it removed. /3

Frederick Douglass, the only African American attendee, argued that the suffrage resolution should be included. Ultimately it was retained and 100 attendees signed the document. The Seneca Falls Convention attracted widespread attention and was soon followed by other women’s rights conventions. /end

Malone and Hood were able to enroll after JFK federalized the Alabama National Guard to escort them. However, her troubles were far from over. She faced threats of violence, including a bomb that went off near her dorm room. She was also ostracized and subjected to hostility from other students. /3
