Did you know?

On 10 August 1941, Sylvia Plath published her first poem, titled simply "Poem" on the "Good Sport" page of the Sunday Boston Herald. In the note to the editor, she described the poem as "a short poem about what I see and hear on hot summer nights":

Hear the crickets chirping In the dewy grass Bright little fireflies Twinkle as they pass.

On This Day in New York City History February 11, 1897: The White Rose Mission (also known as the White Rose Home for Colored Working Girls and the White Rose Industrial Association) was established in New York City on 97th Street in what is now the Upper East Side.

The New York Public Library Archives and Manuscripts page describes it as follows:

"The White Rose Mission and Industrial Association was founded in 1897 in New York City by Victoria Earle Matthews (1861-1907), former slave, journalist, author, and social worker. The Mission was a Christian, non-sectarian social center for African-American women who had migrated to the North in search of employment."

Victoria Earle Matthews (May 27, 1861 - March 10, 1907) was the daughter of a slave and its believed her father was the master of the plantation. Her mother would escape to New York City and after the Civil War would return to Georgia to claim Victoria and her younger sister. Both girls would return to NYC with their mother.

Matthews would self educate herself  and eventually became a journalist working on such NYC newspapers as the New York Times, New York Herald and the New York Sunday Mercury. She would also write for such African American newspapers as the Boston Advocate and the New York Globe.

Matthews would found such organizations as the Woman's Loyal Union (1892) and the National Federation of Afro-American Women (1895). The establishment of the White Rose Mission in 1897 sought to help black girls and young single women migrating from the south to learn skills that would help them find employment and to provide adfoddable shelter.

Matthews also wrote such novels as Aunt Lindy: A Story Founded on Real Life (1893) and helped to put together the address delivered at the first Congress of Colored Women of the United States, at Boston, Mass., July 30th, 1895 entitled The Value of Race Literature. It called for the collecting of writing both by and about African Americans. She also lectured on "The Awakening of the Afro-American Woman" and edited “Black Speeches, Addresses, and Talks of Booker T. Washington." Matthews would die of Tuberculosis on March 10, 1907.

The White Rose Mission would move to a larger location in 1897 at 217 East 86th Street and eventually moving to 262 West 136th Street in Harlem in 1918 until its closure in 1984.

Victoria Earle Smith (May 27, 1861 - March 10, 1907) was an accomplished journalist, author, lecturer, clubwoman, social worker, and missionary. She was born in Fort Valley, Georgia to Caroline Smith, enslaved and a man who was believed to be the family’s master. The family moved to New York City, where she excelled in public school until financial and family conditions made it necessary for her to quit and go into domestic service. She continued her education by using the library of her employer, special studies, and other opportunities to improve herself. She married William Matthews (1879) and they had one son.

She began her journalistic career, working as a reporter for three New York newspapers, the Times, Herald, and Sunday Mercury, and African American newspapers such as the Boston Advocate and the New York Globe. Her writing and community service were designed to find ways to help African Americans exchange their inner anguish, a possible result of slavery, for outward accomplishments in literary and civic areas. In the novel, Aunt Lindy (1893) she describes a protagonist who was persuaded not to murder her cruel former master and instead to help him heal from his pain. In “The Value of Race Literature” (1895), she supported the importance of collecting the writings by and about African American women and men. She was noted for her effective lectures such as, “The Awakening of the Afro-American Woman”.

She founded the Woman’s Loyal Union. She was one of the leaders in supporting the antilynching crusade of Ida B. Wells. She helped found the National Federation of Afro-American Women and was instrumental when this organization and the National Colored Women’s League merged with the National Association of Colored Women (1896). She served as the first national organizer of the combined group (1897-99).

She established the White Rose Industrial Association in New York City. The Association provided a home for girls and young single women while instructing them in domestic skills. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

Pro-Palestinian student protesters break through police fencing at MIT

Pro-Palestinian protesters who had been blocked by police from accessing an encampment at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on Monday broke through fencing, linked arms and encircled tents that remained there, as Columbia University canceled its university-wide commencement ceremony following weeks of pro-Palestinian protests.

Sam Ihns, a graduate student at MIT studying mechanical engineering and a member of MIT Jews for a Ceasefire, said the group had been at the encampment for the past two weeks and that they were calling for an end to the killing of thousands of people in Gaza.

“Specifically, our encampment is protesting MIT’s direct research ties to the Israeli ministry of defense,” he said.

Protesters also sat in the middle of Massachusetts Avenue, blocking the street during rush hour in the Boston area.

The demonstrations at Columbia have roiled its campus and officials said on Monday that while it would not hold its main commencement ceremony, students would be able to celebrate at a series of smaller, school-based ceremonies this week and next.

The decision comes as universities around the country wrangle with how to handle commencements for students whose high school graduations were derailed by Covid-19 in 2020. Another campus shaken by protests, Emory University, announced on Monday that it would move its commencement from its Atlanta campus to a suburban arena. Others, including the University of Michigan, Indiana University and Northeastern University, have pulled off ceremonies with few disruptions.

Columbia’s decision to cancel its main ceremony, scheduled for 15 May, saves its president, Minouche Shafik, from having to deliver a commencement address in the same part of campus where police dismantled a protest encampment last week. The Ivy League school in upper Manhattan said it had made the decision after discussions with students.

“Our students emphasized that these smaller-scale, school-based celebrations are most meaningful to them and their families,” officials said.

Most of the ceremonies that had been scheduled for the south lawn of the main campus, where encampments were taken down last week, will take place about five miles north at Columbia’s sports complex, officials said.

Speakers at some of Columbia’s still-scheduled graduation ceremonies include the Pulitzer prize-winning playwright James Ijames and Dr Monica Bertagnolli, director of the National Institutes of Health.

Columbia had already canceled in-person classes. More than 200 pro-Palestinian demonstrators who had camped out on Columbia’s green or occupied an academic building were arrested in recent weeks.

Similar encampments sprouted up elsewhere as universities struggled with where to draw the line between allowing free expression while maintaining safe and inclusive campuses.

On Monday evening, a group of students at the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence used tables and chairs to barricade the entrance to the second floor of a building on campus, preventing police from getting in, according to a report from the Brown Daily Herald, a student publication at nearby Brown University.

The protest was organized by Risd Students for Justice in Palestine, who said they would not leave the building until the school’s president, Crystal Williams, met their demands for fiscal transparency around investments, “holistic” divestment from groups involved with “sustaining Israel apartheid”, establishing a student oversight committee for investments and publicly condemning Israel’s actions in Gaza as a genocide.

The University of Southern California earlier canceled its main graduation ceremony. Students abandoned their camp at USC on Sunday after being surrounded by police and threatened with arrest.

Other universities have held graduation ceremonies with beefed-up security. The University of Michigan’s ceremony was interrupted by chanting a few times on Saturday. In Boston on Sunday, some students waved small Palestinian or Israeli flags at Northeastern University’s commencement in Fenway Park.

At the University of California, San Diego, police cleared an encampment and arrested more than 64 people, including 40 students, on Monday.

The University of California, Los Angeles, moved all classes online for the entire week due to continuing disruptions following the dismantling of an encampment last week. The university police force reported 44 arrests on Monday but there were no specific details, the UCLA spokesperson Eddie North-Hager said in an email to the Associated Press.

Schools are trying various tactics from appeasement to threats of disciplinary action to get protesters to take down encampments or move to campus areas where demonstrations would be less intrusive.

A group of faculty and staff members at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill asked the administration for amnesty for any students who were arrested and suspended during recent protests. UNC Faculty and Staff for Justice in Palestine said in a media advisory that it would deliver a letter on behalf of more than 500 faculty who support the student activists.

Other universities took a different approach.

Harvard University’s interim president, Alan Garber, warned students that those participating in a pro-Palestinian encampment in Harvard Yard could face “involuntary leave”. That means they would not be allowed on campus, could lose their student housing and might not be able to take exams, Garber said.

Activists See Michael Sam's Declaration As A Positive

By PAUL DOYLE/The Hartford Courant

Feb 10, 2014

As NFL observers speculate on how Michael Sam will survive inside a professional football locker room, consider the way the openly gay senior was treated by his Missouri teammates over the past six months.

Sam came out to the world Sunday night, but he told his team he was gay in August. The Tigers and their defensive leader went on to complete one of the great seasons in school history, winning 12 games and finishing No. 5 in the national rankings.

While Sam earned SEC defensive player of the year, he was embraced by his teammates and news of his sexuality was never leaked to the media.

A distraction? Not in Columbia, Mo.

"It's another example of what we've been saying for years now, which is that you can be an out, gay athlete," said Patrick Burke, co-founder of the You Can Play Project. "Whether you're male or female, whether it's collegiate, high school, pro … the sports world is more welcoming than people think. Now Michael is living proof of that."

Burke's organization was formed in memory of his late brother Brendan, who came out to the Miami (Ohio) hockey team that he served as team manager for. Brendan Burke, son of former Hartford Whalers general manager Brian Burke, died in a car accident in 2010.

It was Brendan Burke's experience with the Miami hockey team that inspired his brother to help form You Can Play as a vehicle to educate and end homophobia in sports. What Patrick Burke has found is a far more open, welcoming community than outsiders might suspect.

Case in point: Sam, who came out as he prepares to embark on a career in the NFL. Not long after Sam made his announcement Sunday evening, talk centered on how he will be accepted by teammates and whether teams would be willing to take on the perceived "distraction" his presence will bring.

An SI.com story quoted anonymous NFL personnel types expressing skepticism about Sam. His draft status — Sam was pegged as a third-to-fifth round prospect for the April draft — reportedly is slipping, not because of what he offers as a player but because of the potential fallout of having an openly gay player in the locker room.

"When people talk about, 'Well, he's going to be a distraction, he's going to be a problem', well, he wasn't for Missouri," Burke said. "He was team leader, his teammates responded to him, and when he came out, his team rallied around him. So I think that's a great example of what can happen when coaches and players show leadership and support their teammates."

Professional athletes in team sports have come out after their careers ended, and NBA player Jason Collins came out last year, but he has not played this season. Sam would be the first openly gay player in one of the major team sports if he is on an NFL roster next fall.

And while some executives don't seem so welcoming — Sports Illustrated's Peter King reports one general manager said he doesn't think Sam will be drafted — there has been support in NFL circles.

Super Bowl MVP Malcolm Smith tweeted, "There is no room for bigotry in American sports. It takes courage to change the culture." And consider this tweet from Richie Incognito, the Miami Dolphins' offensive lineman who was suspended for bullying a teammate: "#respect bro. It takes guts to do what you did. I wish u nothing but the best."

The NFL issued a statement saying, "We admire Michael Sam's honesty and courage. Michael is a football player. Any player with ability and determination can succeed in the NFL. We look forward to welcoming and supporting Michael Sam in 2014." And various team owners expressed openness, including Robert Kraft of the Patriots ("We're about winning and anyone who can come in here and help us win … I'm happy to have him here," he said, according to the Boston Herald).

The issue might be generational, said writer and Staples boys soccer coach Dan Woog.

"I don't think there's a kid in America in high school who doesn't know somebody who is gay," said Woog, who is openly gay. "Somebody at school, a relative … They know gay people. It's just not a big deal. Look at the Missouri players. They didn't say a word, they embraced him. If a bunch of 20-year-olds can handle it, I think an NFL team ought to be able to handle it pretty well, too."

Woog sees Sam as a potential role model for gay teens, but his presence is just as important for straight kids.

"Clearly it's great for gay kids, that they can see that they can be anyone they want to be, not just an interior decorator or a cop or a teacher or a politician," Woog said. "They can be anyone they want to be. And there are plenty of kids — fewer now — who are good athletes but they get turned off by the environment and what they hear, so they don't pursue it … or they hide who they are and they become either aggressively homophobic or they just have no life whatsoever.

"But I also think, and this is the part that is less examined, that it's really important for the straight kids. That Michael Sam coming out is important for straight kids to know, 'You know, I probably do have gay teammates, I might have a gay coach … It's not right, it's not wrong, it's not good, it's not bad, it simply is.' So the message that that sends to kids who don't even know they're getting the message is as important as the one that's being sent to the gay kids."

Burke said he recently spoke at an all-Catholic boys school and his presentation received a standing ovation. The generational divide on same-sex issues is strong, Burke said.

"The younger generation of kids, high school or even college kids, this is nothing to them," said Burke, who works in the NHL Department of Player Safety and is a former Philadelphia Flyers scout. "The people who are having problems with this, who are struggling with this, who have issues with this … are older. Basically, if you're in the United States today and you're under the age of 25, this is a non-issue for you."

Dan Lebowitz, executive director of Northeastern University's Sport in Society program, believes the implications of Sam's decision will reach far beyond sports. He points to sports as an agent for social change all over the world, from apartheid in South Africa to racial and social justice in the United States.

By coming out now, before he enters the most popular and prosperous league in professional sports, Sam is starting a conversation.

"It's an incredibly brave move," Lebowitz said. "I think it's a huge, huge deal and can't be understated. … There's always got to be something that galvanizes [an issue], and there's not a bigger sport exported from our country than football. So I commend the guy. I think it's an amazing moment, I think a brave moment, and I think it will be a watershed moment that will galvanize a lot of positive movement."

American photographer Neil Leifer’s famous photo of Muhammad Ali standing over the knocked-to-the-floor reigning world heavyweight champion Sonny Liston is often often heralded as the greatest sports photograph of all time. Taken in Boston on the night of November 13th 1964, Liston’s wretched first round defeat was embroiled in controversy, the new king-of-the-ring Ali seemingly well aware of the situation as he loudly shouted “get up and fight sucker!” and “Nobody will believe this.” at the fallen champ. Lewis Hamilton’s very well executed tattoo copy of Leifer’s brilliant picture is seen here during the Sunday morning Drivers’ Parade at the 2019 Canadian Grand Prix
