Back to USA. In New York City, Owens was invited to a reception in his honor at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, but hotel policy prohibited him from using the front door. Jesse Owens was also denied the opportunity to visit President Franklin D. Roosevelt at the White House, though his white teammates were invited.

How does the US become the topic of every post? Can we just appreciate Finland for a second?

Never even heard of her, but I'm an instant fan!

May they eventually have their freedom back

I was just reading an article about how women have stopped covering their hair in public, and the government is going after businesses that allow them entry, even taxi drivers that take them as clients. More power to them and I hope they get everything they want. I'm sorry they have to fight for their basic human rights.

F**k religions

My mum (from Oz) travelled through Tehran in the 60s on the hippie trail. One of her favourite memories was sitting on a train with an old Persian man who was squirting wine into her and my Nan’s mouths from a goat skin wine cask. Awesome.

Ah yes, Iran and Afghanistan were both quite modern and friendly countries but no 'aligned' then certain foreign countries (which shall remain nameless as to not embarrass the UK and US) decided to interfere and take over. We can see how well that worked out..

What religion can lead to...

FYI: This monument honors the legendary 369th Infantry Regiment, known as the Harlem Hellfighters.

So... if Adams was busy and his dog wanted to play, did Adams say, "not today, Satan!"?

Eerie how color shrinks the perceived time gap between then and now, compared to monochrome photos

It’s known as Ram Setu and according to the Ramayana (a holy book in Hinduism), Sri Ram along with the help of Hanuman and several monkeys created it by dropping rocks on the ocean and walking across it so that they could reach Lanka and save Sita from Ravaan. (I don’t think this is true but still felt like sharing)

I feel like the ancient greeks would totally get along with us lol

that cover kind of takes me back to my school days before computers/printers where you would spend extra time drawing your report cover to try to make it look nice.

His brother had a famous bakery called Bread Pitt

The OG Snowpiercer
