Reminders from Our Flag
for Tuesday, June 11, 2019​​​

“The heart of the question is whether all Americans are to be afforded equal rights and equal opportunities; whether we are going to treat our fellow Americans as we want to be treated.”
- stated by President John F. Kennedy when faced with Alabama's Governor resisting desegregation of the University of Alabama

​Today's Moment to Remember

On this date, June 11, in 1963, Alabama's Governor Wallace finally stepped aside when President John F. Kennedy, and the Alabama National Guard that JFK took under Presidential control, forced integration of the University of Alabama.  Finally, 9 years after the US Supreme Court outlawed segregated schools with its Brown v Board of Education ruling, the first 2 black citizens were allowed to register and enroll at the University of Alabama.

Today's Slice of Americana

On this date, June 11, in 1986, the movie, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, was released in theaters.  It became a instant hit with rebellious 1980s teens (like myself) and still is a must watch with today's teens.
