When my mom died I found this Letter to the Editor among her possessions. She’s calling out John Klein, the Town Supervisor in Smithtown LI, for his racist housing policies. I think it’s from the 1970s. It inspires me to name names, and call out BS. Don’t live afraid.

To her death in 2005, she insisted the movement wasn't over & there was much more work to be done. Yet too often, Rosa Parks is honored with statues & proclamations & signs on buses--putting her legacy firmly in the past & missing what it asks of us today.The struggle continues.

1969 brought Woodstock, Apollo 11—and the last time the U.S. had unemployment as low as 3.4 percent. Until today, that is.

U.S. employers added 517,000 jobs in January.

The hefty hiring figures defied expectations and underscored the challenges facing the Federal Reserve, which is trying to cool the labor market in its effort to tame rapid inflation.
