An Appeal to Heaven

As a history enthusiast, I enjoy studying flags and their symbolism. This year, I discovered the “Appeal to Heaven” flag.

“And where the Body of the People, or any single Man, is deprived of their Right, or is under the Exercise of a power without right, and have no Appeal on Earth, there they have a liberty to appeal to Heaven, whenever they judge the Cause of sufficient moment.”
John Locke

Elon Musk. The advancements in electric cars and space rockets are amazing. (It also helps that he saved Twitter)

This Day in History

On this day in 1985, Philadelphia police bombed a residential neighborhood, killing 11 people, including 5 children, and destroying 65 houses and leaving over 250 people homeless.

Why?

Because a handful of people were resisting arrest.

I grew up 60 miles north of Philadelphia. This story was all over the news for months!

In 1892, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes was first published
