Japan marked 80 years since the United States dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima during World War II.
At a ceremony, a moment of silence signaled the time of the blast eight decades ago.

On June 19, 1865, news of the Emancipation Proclamation reached the last enslaved people in Galveston, Texas. Today, we celebrate the progress our nation has made and acknowledge that the fight for equality is far from over.

On this day in 1963 William Lewis Moore, a white postal worker from Baltimore, was shot and killed during a solo march against segregation in Alabama. Moore embodied radical nonviolence and moral courage and we remember his sacrifice—and carry forward his call for justice.

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

Just look at how we view hoodies. On Mark Zuckerberg, the hoodie is a symbol of whiz kid meritocracy breaking norms and developing the New Economy. On people like Trayvon Martin, the hoodie is sometimes seen as proof of criminality. Again, it's about the bodies beneath the clothes.

On this Day of Remembrance, we honor the 120,000 Japanese Americans unjustly imprisoned during WWII because of their heritage. Their resilience remind us to never forget the lessons of history. We will continue to fight for justice, equality, and civil rights for all.
