On September 28, a group of local white men threatened and then physically attacked Mr. Bentley in Opelousas, the parish seat, while he was teaching at a local school he had helped to establish for Black children. The students fled, shouting, and in the confusion, many Black people in the streets wrongly believed Mr. Bentley had been killed. Fearing they were next, Black men in the community armed themselves for protection, and 27 were soon arrested by white mobs.
After half-hearted efforts to sway Black voters to the white-controlled Democratic party failed, many white voters in St. Landry resorted to violent intimidation tactics. In response, Republicans like Emerson Bentley, a white journalist who published the radical St. Landry Progress newspaper, organized and encouraged Black people to become politically active. Racial and political tensions continued to escalate as the 1868 presidential election neared.
When Louisiana voters took to the polls in April 1868, most voted to accept the new Reconstruction constitution and supported Union-loyalist Republic politicians in local elections. St. Landry Parish was an anomaly; voters there rejected the constitution and supported white supremacist, former Confederate Democratic candidates—but the narrow margins showed the community’s white voters that they shared the ballot box with a large, politically powerful Black electorate.

Let’s turn this day into a highlight reel of laughs, good vibes, and maybe one or two well-deserved naps!"

The composition is dominated by cobalt blue, contrasted strikingly with red and accented by touches of yellow. The optical effect of these closely positioned primary colors enlivens the composition, enhancing the sense of direct observation and spontaneity.
The model for this elegant painting of a French bourgeois woman sewing may be Aline Charigot, who later became Pierre-Auguste Renoir's wife. Renoir portrays this domestic scene—a middle-class woman embroidering—with vibrant colors, a light-filled atmosphere, and loose, expressive brushwork.
Due to perspective, the parallel cloud shadows will seem to point back to the rising Sun and a place due east on your horizon on the equinox date. But in this spectacular sunrise skyscape captured in early June, the parallel shadows and crepuscular rays appear to converge toward an eastern horizon's more northerly sunrise. The well-composed photo places the rising Sun just behind the bell tower of a church in the town of Vic, province of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.
