On this day in 2014, Tamir Rice was shot and killed by a police officer outside a recreation center in Cleveland, Ohio.

Tamir was only 12-years-old. Black boys deserve to make it to and through adulthood.

Rest in power, Tamir — your life mattered.

22 years ago, this attack took place. Hamas terrorism isn’t anything new. This is just one of many harrowing examples from more than 20 years ago. This attack was part of the Second Intifada which targeted mainly Israeli civilians and in it, many Holocaust survivors were murdered .

"The graduating aviation class of November 24th desires to thank Princeton University for the best barracks, best mess, best surroundings, and most courteous treatment that it will ever receive in the service, and we wish Princeton University to know that with such backing we will do our part on the other side."

--Cadets of Princeton University's Aeronautics School, in a telegram to John Grier Hibben, November 24, 1917

The Original Texting Machine 🪧

On this day, 1838, Samuel Morse demonstrated his telegraph system for the first time at the Speedwell Iron Works in Morristown, New Jersey. Morse’s invention meant people could send messages across the country in just a few minutes, rather than taking days or weeks through traditional mail. This innovation was especially important for news organizations, who could now report on current events in real-time.

Morse continued to work on and improve the telegraph, eventually developing the Morse Code system in use today. The Morse Code system uses a series of dots and dashes to represent letters and numbers, making it possible to quickly transmit messages through telegraph wires.

Morse was successful in impressing lawmakers, who afforded him the funding he needed to construct a telegraph line from Washington to Baltimore. On May 24, 1844, just outside the Supreme Court Chamber in the Capitol and again before a congressional audience, he inaugurated the line by sending the first official telegraph message, “What hath God wrought?”

The eccentric inventor was known for his technology but also boasted a magnificent beard. Get an up-close look at the telegraph invention patent on DocsTeach.

He founded a yeshiva in Troyes and thousands of students came to learn from him. He lived through the First Crusades and watched his friends and family murdered by Crusaders on their murderous path to the Holy Land. This influenced his commentary. He passed away at the age of 65 due to health problems in Troyes. 

Rashi’s commentary became famous due to his synthesis of both literal and drash (form of Biblical exegesis) interpretations of the Torah. He uses simple language to explain the meanings of words while including both classic Rabbinic readings and his own interpretations.

His easy to read style and conciseness led to his writings spreading all over Northern Europe during his lifetime. His sons and grandsons expanded on his teachings and his commentary also influenced many commentaries and books written throughout Jewish history.

Rashi’s commentary on the Torah was first printed in 1475. Since the 1520’s, all Babylonian Talmuds have been published with Rashi's commentary in the margins. Rashi’s Biblical commentary extended even past the Jewish community and was translated into Latin and German.

#OTD in 1960: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was arrested for joining a sit-in protest at Rich’s Department Store in Atlanta. Along with dozens of students, King was jailed — but unlike the others, he was not released days later.

Instead, he was transferred to Reidsville State Prison, where he was ordered by a judge to serve a five-month sentence for unknowingly violating his probation from May of that year, when he was stopped by police for driving with expired tags and was issued a $25 citation for driving in Georgia with an out-of-state license.

This photo was taken of Dr. King and his family after he was granted an early release from the prison, in October 1960. Today, we honor Dr. King for his fight for civil rights and knowing when to get into #GoodTrouble.

OTD  2006, a 23-year-old French-Moroccan Jew by the name of Ilan Halimi was brutally murdered for simply being Jewish. 

ה׳ יקום דמו 🕯️

His killers, a gang that went by the name of Les Barbares or “the Barbarians”, kidnapped Halimi, held him hostage for 24 days before burning him alive and dumping his body near a train station in the Paris suburb of Saint-Genevieve-de-Bois. Halimi was found alive by a local, still fighting for his life, with 80 percent of his body deformed and disfigured by acid burns, an ear and toe cut off and his genitals mutilated. He died on his way to the hospital. 

During the investigation, key members of the group confessed that they believed that all Jews are rich, which motivated them to target Halimi, although he came from the same lower-class, Parisian suburb as the abductors did. The abductors also threatened the Halimi family to send money from the “Jewish community” and “rabbis” if they could not afford the 450,000 euro ransom. 

This instance of the re-emergence of old antisemitic canards associating Jews with money and power demonstrates the lethality of bigotry towards Jews. 

The aftermath of the Ilan Halimi case unfortunately only gained French national attention. Reactions from the global community were scarce, with only the United States Helsinki Commission holding a briefing recognizing the omnipresence of antisemitism in the modern world. 

While all those directly implicated in the abduction of Halimi were sentenced to heavy dues for their crimes, a Halimi relative quotes, “The important thing for me is not handing out heavier jail terms, honestly. The important thing is to open this to the press and public and make it a learning experience”. Unfortunately, when the world sits silently as Jews are murdered overtly, clearly the world holdsno intention for a lesson to be learned.

The cases of the murder of Mireille Knoll, Sarah Halimi (no relation) and others that followed Ilan Halimi’s serve to prove that lethal antisemitism is very much alive in France today. 

May his memory be a blessing

July 16, 1995 -- Aaliyah attends the 7th annual WJLB's Family Fun Day Concert at Rouge Park in Detroit, MI.

I wonder if this was that event that was talked about, during ABC's special, saying that Aaliyah put her foot down (to be the artist to close the show) in her hometown??
