I knew it wouldn't be long. Montrezl Harrell had spoken his truth, telling the world on Jan. 4, after a 26-point home loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, about the frustrations that had surfaced inside the Clippers’ complicated locker room. https://theathletic.com/1557316/?source=twitterhq

It is a known fact that a president cannot use executive privilege to conceal evidence of a crime that he has committed. Based on that rule and the fact it has been establish. That the orange orangutan did break the law. A lawsuit has been filed asking for the release of the Ukraine files and documents because the executive privileges cannot be used to conceal them. In this case, while the alleged violation had triggered impeachment proceedings well before the GAO report a week ago, the report was still used by Democrats to bolster their case heading into the Senate trial. Republicans, though, are poised to argue that the violations in the GAO report hardly rise to the level of impeachment -- and have repeatedly pointed out that GAO findings in the past have not merited much national attention. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/gao-impeachment-push-violations

Baton Rouge is a city filled with a lot of history dating back to centuries. When you hear “bus boycott” during the civil rights movement; most people think of the boycott in Montgomery back in 1955. However, before Dr. Martin Luther King Jr; there was Reverend TJ Jemison and many others during the Baton Rouge bus boycott in 1953. https://www.brproud.com/news/local-news/a-baton-rouge-story-1953-baton-rouge-bus-boycott/

Bluedog,
Here's a copy of the link to the thesis. The SU protest rally starts on page 92 to 96 in the document or 99 to 103 of the dropdown menu bar. Also, after that event, funding for SU became less and less. Basically during the Reagan years. This is why I think our students need to get more involved in the politics at our universities and stop allowing the political puppets (governing board) make decisions that are political related. I believe events like this helped individuals like Cleo Fields get elected into state office and then as the youngest U.S. congressman. At that time, SUBR was the largest HBCU in the country and Cleo Field used the voter registration numbers of SU's student body to get elect. I was a freshman when he was SU's SGA President. Congressman Cedric Richmond pretty much have the same advantage with SUBR, SUNO, SU Law Center, and SU Ag being in his congressional district. SU should demand that he do more for the university. The only part of the SU System that is not in his district is SU Shreveport.

@JAG89 refresh my memory about that controversy. I recall the community didn't really want the juke to perform.
Sent from my SM-T530NU using Tapatalk
I was still in high school then, but since I marched in SU band in 1983 and 1984, I was able to gather information from older band members. Baton Rouge's news covered a great deal of the story, which ironically is hard to find in today's high tech informational world. It was told to me that the SU Board demanded that SU's band perform at Reagan's campaign rally at LSU. A lot of the band members didn't want to perform, but were being forced to or lose their scholarships. Word had gotten around to other students at SU and few started a protest rally on campus demanding that Reagan come to SU to see and hear their demands. Once they realized that that wasn't going to happen, the student laid out in front of the buses transporting the band to LSU, which got the news media involved. They captured pictures of SU campus security arresting and removing the students from blocking the buses. The only thing I can find on that controversy is a LSU graduate student's thesis that talked about Reagan's campaign. I'll see if I can find it and I'll post it on here.
Yeah....yeah...yeah now I remember
