Virginia is doing something good with the memorial to
ex-slave Hannah Reynolds, the only slave killed at the Battle of Appomattox--and
whose slaveholder thought it of enough significance to report it. (You may remember from Huckleberry Finn, that when someone asks whether anyone was hurt, Huckelberry
Finn says, "No, ma'am. A nigger was
killed," and she says she's glad that no one got hurt.) And from South Carolina, we have the Proterra
startup making electric buses under the leadership of Ryan Popple, though that
hardly makes up for the shooting in the back of Walter Scott in South
Carolina. Similar things happen right
here in the progressive Bay Area, as the San Francisco Chronicle reported on the front page today, writing about Captain Jason Fox, who should have been removed from office after he was sued for an outrageous abuse of power in 2005 for his treatment of a gay man named Andrew Marconi.
