Re: BREAKING: Sometimes Famous People Die
Today I learned:
Quote:
Earlier this year, Jackson settled in a house in Claremore, Oklahoma near Tulsa, Tulsa World reported. “I always wanted to get away from the West Coast and experience living somewhere with new people and new culture,” the paper quoted Jackson as saying. “California is ... different.”
Jackson had ties to the area: His uncle, Samuel Jackson, had opened Jackson Undertaking Co. in Tulsa in 1917, and when it burned down during the Tulsa Race Massacre in 1921, Samuel Jackson was hired by a white-owned funeral home to embalm the bodies of Black residents who were killed, the paper reported. He later rebuilt his own company.

(Bolding mine, from Tito Jackson of beloved pop group Jackson 5 dies at 70 | AP News)
The Tulsa Race Massacre is not as distant in the past as you think.

Think we’re closer to the next one than we are to the last one?

Yeah, I knew he'd find a way out that, somehow.

And only the briefest mention of Adm. Percy Fitzwallace, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from The West Wing.
