Am watching a program where a British man is learning about his Grandfather who was a customs official in Nigeria.

British men who went to Nigeria for govt/business during the colonial period were not allowed to bring their wives and children because the children might form friendships with Nigerian children. Revolting.

I assume that was true for other African colonies as well.

I'd try posting this on Xitter, but it's all foul over there now.

My brother is missing in Flint Michigan. I'm in North Carolina. He has no phone, all his things are in his car which was towed. If anyone can help spread the word, message me and I'll give you the details and my contact info. Thanks.

This lovely dress was designed by
Austrian born American designer Sadie Nemser, (1886-1966). It's from the late 1920s and called "Secret Garden". It's an exemplary transition piece, with a lot of the 20s in it, but moving toward the length and sweep of gowns of the 30s.

She defied the stereotype of the emotional female reporter, demonstrating her ability to handle hard-hitting news with professionalism and composure. Her presence on "Meet the Press" paved the way for future generations of female journalists and helped to break down gender barriers in the field.

On this particular episode, she interviewed key figures like Senator Everett Dirksen and Congressman Gerald Ford, skillfully navigating the complex political landscape and providing insightful analysis of the events surrounding Kennedy's death.

Dickerson's calm demeanor and incisive questioning during this turbulent time earned her widespread respect and admiration.

Dickerson, a pioneering female journalist, became the first woman to moderate a major Sunday morning political talk show. In a time when journalism was largely dominated by men, Dickerson's presence on "Meet the Press" was a significant departure from the norm.

Women Who Defied Traditional Gender Roles.

On November 23rd, 1963, the world was still reeling from the assassination of President John F. Kennedy just two days prior. Amidst the grief and uncertainty, a television program aired that offered a unique perspective on the tragedy and challenged traditional gender roles in journalism. That program was NBC's "Meet the Press," and the host was Nancy Dickerson.

While the world mourned the loss of a president, Nancy Dickerson's appearance on "Meet the Press" on November 23rd, 1963, marked a turning point in the history of journalism. She challenged traditional gender roles and proved that women could excel in a field previously dominated by men. Her insightful reporting and calm professionalism during a time of national crisis solidified her place as a trailblazer in the world of broadcast journalism.
