First let me apologize for the formatting of this quiz. I have had upgrades to my computer over the last few months. It seems like each one makes the editor programs worse. In an attempt to rectify that, I tried using WFW. That didn’t work very well so I went back to Apples product and in the process came out with a Frankenstein of a quiz. Stay tuned for next week when I try it all over again~~~~~ You can tell we are amateurs

Even as our current president {known here as the Felon In the White House or FIWH} continues to do all he can to gin up the start of a civil war in Minnesota, we will still take a few minutes to remember one of the greatest Americans ever, Martin Luther King.

It is very interesting to look back today to King’s leadership during a time when violence was used against black people almost at will. Today we have a president who is having ICE agents use violence almost at will mostly against people of color, but also against nearly anyone. MLK’s voice is a voice for the ages. This video is 27 minutes long:

We will have some questions around the battle for civil rights in the US. Sadly, the FIWH will probably dominate the questions.

1. A) What lesser known civil rights leader from the 1950s and 1960s died this week?
2. B) Following the murder of Renee Good, who claimed to have internal bleeding from injuries?
3. C) What news source reported the above story when no one else would?
4. D) Jim Crow – we have all heard that name – who was he?
5. E) Who declared he was the acting president of Venezuela Monday?

8. H) The FIWH is threatening what against countries who refuse to back the US’s effort to take over Greenland?
9. I) The SCOTUS decision in 1954’s Brown v. Board case overturned what discriminatory policy of that time?
10. J) What is the FIWH doing with the money the US has gotten from stealing Venezuela’s oil?
11. K) Who said that we shouldn’t even have an election in 2026 “because of all of Trump’s accomplishments there is no need for one.”?
12. L) Grok – what’s it up to these days?
13. M) The FIWH got a Nobel Peace Prize this week. How did he do that?
14. N) What southern governor famously stood in the schoolhouse door when black citizens attempted to enroll at the U of Alabama in 1963?
15. O) What well known cartoonist and extreme right political supporter died of cancer this week?
16. P) What well known water quality researcher launched a bid for Secretary of Agriculture in Iowa last week?

19. S) MLK was assassinated in Memphis, Tenn. Why was he in Memphis at that time?
20. T) In yet another manifestation of racial hatred, a synogogue was burned in what state last week?

One week ago they killed a white woman in broad daylight.

Tonight they’ve shot a protester in the leg and put six children in the hospital.

The kids were in a car with their Dad who was trying to get them out of the neighborhood.

ICE threw a flash bang at the car.

6 children. – Kelly
