Colonial Pipeline shut down 5,500 miles of its East Coast pipeline on May 7, 2021, in an effort to contain a security breach resulting from a ransomware attack. Colonial’s pipeline is one of the nation’s largest and carries refined gasoline and jet fuel from Texas up the East Coast to New York. This represents nearly 45% of the fuel consumed on the East Coast. Ransomware attacks have increased in recent years, affecting many industries from banks, universities, and cities. Generally, a ransomware attack is a coordinated effort by computer hackers to lock up and freeze computer systems in order to demand large sums of money to then free up the computer systems. The recent cyberattack on Colonial Pipeline has resulted in gas shortages and panic buying across the southeastern United States, and highlights concerns over the security of critical infrastructure.
Illinois Congressman Arthur W. Mitchell
On April 28, 1941, Illinois Congressman Arthur Mitchell argued to the Supreme Court that African Americans were entitled to railroad accommodations equal to white passengers.
Born to former slaves in Alabama in 1883, Mitchell attended the Tuskegee Institute and worked his way through school as a farmer and in the office of Booker T. Washington. He attended law school at Columbia University and Harvard before moving to Chicago, where he worked as a lawyer and got into politics. He was elected to Congress in 1934 as the nation’s first African American Democratic congressman. Throughout his four terms, he was the only African American in Congress.
