October 23, 1915: Women March in New York for Suffrage Parade

On this day in 1915, 25,000 women marched up Fifth Avenue in New York City advocating for women’s voting rights. Five years later, the 19th amendment was passed in 1920 and granted 26 million women (half of the population at the time) the right to vote.

Dive deep into the Suffrage Movement with American Experience’s “Battle for Suffrage” article, which details key figures, events, and victories throughout the Suffrage movement.

Rights groups say Obama’s drone program violates international law

Two new reports on the use of drones by the United States in its ongoing war against Al-Qaeda add to a growing chorus of concern among human rights groups that the Obama administration’s drone program has violated international law and caused unnecessary civilian deaths, fear and chaos in Pakistan and Yemen.

One report, released by Amnesty International, reviews 45 drone strikes in North Waziristan and the surrounding regions of Pakistan between 2012 and 2013. The region is considered a hotbed of Al-Qaeda activity and is the most targeted location in the world for drone strikes. The other report, released by Human Rights Watch, details the circumstances and aftermath of six strikes in Yemen, where drones are used less frequently than in Pakistan.

Both reports conclude that in many cases, drone strikes may have breached international laws. Both also say that the White House and CIA’s lack of transparency surrounding the drone program make it unaccountable to the citizens of the U.S., as well as to the unintended victims of the attacks.

March 23, 1775: Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death!

On this day in 1775, American revolutionary Patrick Henry stood in front of the Virginia convention to give a speech where he said his famous quote “give me liberty, or give me death!” In his speech, Henry urged others to start fighting for their freedom from the British rather than later.

Henry proposed to form a volunteer infantry within counties in Virginia as a form of defense. Within a month, it was the start of the American Revolutionary War.

"Just a Burger? Just a burger. Robin, it's so much more than 'just a burger.' I mean...that first bite—oh, what heaven that first bite is. The bun, like a sesame freckled breast of an angel, resting gently on the ketchup and mustard below, flavors mingling in a seductive pas de deux. And then...a pickle! The most playful little pickle! Then a slice of tomato, a leaf of lettuce and a...a patty of ground beef so exquisite, swirling in your mouth, breaking apart, and combining again in a fugue of sweets and savor so delightful. This is no mere sandwich of grilled meat and toasted bread, This is God, speaking to us in food." -Marshall #hyim #howimetyourmother #bestburger #chikfila #4
