Nashville civil rights veteran Diane Nash to be honored with Presidential Medal of Freedom

Nashville Tennessean

July 1, 2022

Nashville civil rights veteran Diane Nash, who led sit-ins, coordinated freedom rides and was jailed while pregnant for teaching minors nonviolent protest tactics, will be honored with a Presidential Medal of Freedom.

. . . Nash, born in Chicago, moved to Nashville when she transferred to Fisk University in 1959. Incensed by the overt racism she was not accustomed to in Illinois, Nash joined Rev. James Lawson's nonviolence workshops where they role-played as demonstrators and attackers to ready themselves for all possibilities.

Nash was elected chairperson of the Nashville movement and she and the Student Central Committee staged sit-ins at lunch counters across the city.

In 1960, when the home of attorney and civil rights activist Z. Alexander Looby was bombed, Nash wanted to march albeit silent and prayerful. She walked thousands of students down Jefferson Street to the courthouse steps. There, she was met by Mayor Ben West. ...

Mississippi lawmaker with ethics woes forced into GOP runoff

By MICHAEL R. BLOOD

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Republican U.S. Rep. Steven Palazzo of Mississippi was forced into a runoff Tuesday after a congressional ethics watchdog raised questions about his campaign spending and he faced his largest-ever field of primary challengers.

. . . The congressman first elected in 2010 failed to win the GOP nomination outright on Tuesday, earning less than 50% of the vote.

His opponent will either be Jackson County Sheriff Mike Ezell, who is also campaigning on border security, or Clay Wagner, a retired banker who says he wants to limit taxation and regulation.

A 2021 report by the Office of Congressional Ethics found “substantial reason to believe” Palazzo, a military veteran who serves on the Appropriations and Homeland Security committees, abused his office by misspending campaign funds, doing favors for his brother and enlisting staff for political and personal errands. His then-spokesperson, Colleen Kennedy, said the probe was based on politically motivated “false allegations.”

Purple Haze

Joy Oladokun

Rather have us than have nothing at all
Not trying to sound emotional
But I've seen waters rise and strong men fall
It's just good to have a hand to hold

Every day, there's a sad a twist of fate
And it's easy to think there's no way we can make it
But I swear you and I can stay strong through the fight
If we hold on long enough to face it

Sure there's purple haze in the sky
And they say maybe we're running out of time
But I don't care, 'cause you and I
Know that love is all we need to survive

Came up from nothing, oh, nothing at all
And you stood by my side (you stood by my side)
Oh, you can count on me if ever you fall
Until the end of time (until the end of time)

Every day, there's a sad a twist of fate
And it's easy to think there's no way we can make it
(There's no way we can make it)
But I swear, you and I (you and I)
Can stay strong through the fight (through the fight)
If we hold on long enough to face it

Sure there's
Purple haze in the sky
And they say maybe we're running out of time
But I don't care, 'cause you and I
Know that love is all we need to survive

If the world (if the world) is on fire (is on fire)
I don't care, 'cause you're down for the ride (for the ride)
We'll survive, we'll get by (we'll get by)
From now on 'til the end of time
'Til the end of time
Oh, oh
Oh, until the end of time

Yeah
Purple haze in the sky
And they say maybe we're running out of time
But I don't care, 'cause you and I
Know that love is all we need to survive
Love is all we need to survive

Trump candidate loses Nebraska GOP primary after allegations of sexual misconduct

WASHINGTON – Charles Herbster, a Donald Trump-endorsed businessman who has been repeatedly accused of sexual misconduct, lost his bid to be the GOP's nominee for Nebraska governor in the state's Republican primary on Tuesday.

University of Nebraska Regent Jim Pillen was the winner of the gubernatorial primary, according to the Associated Press, just ahead of Herbster and state senator Brett Lindstrom.

Herbster could not overcome the many misconduct allegations lodged against him, despite his denials.

Eight women, including a state senator, told the Nebraska Examiner during the campaign that Herbster had groped, forcibly kissed or improperly touched them at public events over the past six years.
