Pittsburgh Mayor Introduces Bill To Make Juneteenth Official Holiday

By Jason Hall Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto announced his plan to introduce a bill recognizing Juneteenth as an official holiday recognized by the city. Mayor Peduto initially pledged to push for legislation recognizing Juneteenth as an official Pittsburgh holiday while speaking at a Black Voting Rights Forum at St. Benedict the Moor Church in the Lower Hill District last August, Juneteenth, also known as Jubilee Day, Emancipation Day or Freedom Day, is the observance of the ending of slavery in the United States, which dates back to June 19, 1865, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation, when Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, to announce the end of the Civil War and that slaves were free.

Home Run King Hank Aaron Overcame Racism to Excel On and Off the Field

The Tablet January 22, 2021 Atlanta Braves legend Hank Aaron is seen in this 2017 file photo. The longtime home run leader died Jan. 22, 2021. He was 86. (Photo: CNS/Jayne Kamin-Oncea, USA TODAY Sports via Reuters) WASHINGTON (CNS) Hank Aaron, who was baseball’s home run king for 33 years, overcame racism to make his mark in the game he loved. Aaron died Jan. 22 at age 86. Aaron, who became a Catholic while playing for the Milwaukee Braves, joined the Baptist faith later in life. He never hit 50 home runs in a season, much less 60 or even 70 as other sluggers did; in his best season, he knocked 47 homers out of the park in 1971, when he was 37 years old. But it was his consistency that allowed him to amass 755 round-trippers over 23 seasons playing for the Milwaukee and Atlanta Braves, and after he had set the record back to Milwaukee to play for the Brewers.
