FAIRFIELD-SUISUN, CALIFORNIA Nicholas Goldberg: Kevin McCarthy lauds the first Black member of the House. Here’s why that’s annoying [Los Angeles Times :: BC-NICHOLAS-GOLDBERG-COLUMN:LA] House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., recently gathered reporters together to say a few words about Joseph Rainey of South Carolina, the first African American member of the House of Representatives, who was sworn into office 150 years ago. On the face of it, it was a straightforward tribute to a mostly forgotten but groundbreaking figure a formerly enslaved person who served four terms in Congress, where he helped pass legislation to suppress the Ku Klux Klan and defended the rights of newly freed African Americans. When Rainey took the oath of office on Dec. 12, 1870, the New York Tribune reported that “the hum and buzz of voices ceased on the floor” as members turned to watch the first representative of “the newly enfranchised race.”

US Marines at Wake Island fought Japanese hours after Pearl Harbor

On December 8, 1941, the US garrison on Wake Island awoke to news of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Japan s destruction of the US Pacific Fleet meant Wake Island was on its own against Japan s advance across the Pacific. The garrison surrendered after a 16-day battle, but their resistance gave the US Navy breathing room and became a rallying cry for Americans. Early on December 8, 1941, an American radio technician on Wake Island opened daily communications with the US Navy base at Pearl Harbor, located on the other side of the international date line. The initial transmissions were unintelligible. Follow-up attempts revealed shocking and devastating news: Pearl Harbor was under attack by Japanese planes, and the US Pacific Fleet was crippled.
