Live & Learn - Juneteenth

The American president recently announced that he was going to hold his first rally after Covid-19 hit. The rally was announced to be held in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on June 19^th.

June 19^th is known as Juneteenth Day and celebrated as Freedom Day, Jubilee Day, and Cel-Liberation Day because, on that day in1865, the Emancipation Proclamation (whereby all previous slaves were freed) was read to newly freed African Americans in Texas.

The problem is that Tulsa is most widely known for the 1921 Tulsa race massacre, (url to Wikipedia article) were 39 confirmed (75–300 estimated by a 2001 commission) were killed and more than 800 were injured.

Some people see the choice of date in combination with the place as a deliberate provocation.

I had never heard of Juneteenth before and now I also understand the uproar about choosing Tulsa.

A New Look for SecondLife

SecondLife launched a new logo today.

"The old logo has served us well but no longer projects our vision for SL as we move into this next decade. The new logo uses clearer, bolder type to communicate our optimism and confidence in what the future holds for SL. We retired the soft green color in favor of bright blue to reflect the boundless energy of our residents, who create amazing content and experiences. When it comes to what you can do with SL, the (blue) sky’s the limit!" (SecondLife Community blog)
