‘The whole world is poorer’
Queen Elizabeth II speaks on Churchill’s death to his wife.
The whole world is the poorer by the loss of his many-sided genius while the survival of this country and the sister nations of the Commonwealth, in the face of the greatest danger that has ever threatened them, will be a perpetual memorial to his leadership, his vision, and his indomitable courage.
Marlon Brando interview
Brando is interviewed at an International Press Conference in New York with National Indian Youth Council‘s President Mel Thom.
I’m amazed with the ignorance I see concerning the Indians.
Escapes slavery
Truth escapes with her infant daughter, Sophia, leaving behind her other children because a New York emancipation order did not permit their freedom until they had served as bound servants into their twenties.
I did not run off, for I thought that wicked, but I walked off, believing that to be all right.
A family lets Truth move in with them and settles her remaining one year service account with her master, Dumont, for $20.
Sold
Truth’s master, Hardenbergh, dies and her family are separated. Neely, whom Truth remembered as harsh and violent, buysTruth at an auction with a flock of sheep for $100.
By then my father, Bomefree, who had been tall and straight in his youth, had grown old and sickly. No one wanted to buy him. Although my mother could have been sold, they decided to free her so that she could care for my father. The people who bought the hotel allowed my parents to continue to live in the cellar…As the enslaved became old and infirm, they became less useful to their owners, and too expensive to be kept and cared for. They were often, therefore, set free and left to care for themselves. This was especially heartless when their children had also been sold away and were not around to help look after them.
Showers Blatter with cash
During a press conference in Zurich, Nelson approaches Blatter with two wads of cash in his hands, saying the cash is to support North Korea’s bid for the 2026 World Cup. When Blatter asks for security, Daniels tosses the wad of bills in the air and they float all around Blatter. The comedian is removed from the stage. Blatter:
I just called my late mother, and she said, ‘Don’t worry, it’s just a lack of education.’
