Interesting anniversaries
As I mentioned, the 150th anniversary of signing the Emancipation Proclamation occurred on January 1, 2013. While listening to the New Year's Eve folk show, Magpie mentioned that after forty years, the man who killed Victor Jarra by breaking his hands in Chile, or one of the killers, had been found but maybe not brought to justice yet. They sang a song by him. He was in the stadium for three days, and then they killed him. Hiw wife, Joan, is British. The anniversary of Wonded Knee was around this time also and is 122 years backward. So many things to remember. Some Civil Rights activists are dying off also. Lynne Koraling Genius Consultants
