Lab Report: 100 Years Ago Today, A Silent Protest Took Over New York City

Civil rights centennial: New York City had never witnessed such a scene: 100 years ago today, a procession of nearly 10,000 African-Americans marched down Fifth Avenue, women and children in white gowns, men in dark suits. The demonstration, organized by a then-nascent NAACP, was spurred by recent lynchings and violence targeting African-Americans, including a mob in East St. Louis. As one scholar writes in the Miami Herald:

Funding save: A Senate committee vote yesterday maintained funding for several grant programs that the Trump administration proposed slashing but cities have fought to preserve, including TIGER grants, Community Development Block Grants, and New Starts. (Route Fifty)
