Just finished “Devil in the Grove: Thurgood Marshall, the Groveland Boys, and the Dawn of a New America”

Learned a lot about the role of the NAACP in criminal cases in the Jim Crow South. So much bravery in the face of klan violence and systemized dehumanization. Will definitely be seeking out biographies of Thurgood Marshall soon.

"Just about anywhere in [#Japan] you can find stylized manhole covers, each more beautiful and intricate than the next. . . .

According to the Japan Society of Manhole Covers (yes, that’s a thing) today there are almost 6000 artistic manhole covers throughout Japan."

HT @SalGal for the manhole making video link.
