Animal of the Day!

Sculptured Mitten Lobster (Parribacus antarcticus)

(Photo from Florent’s Guide)

Conservation Status- Least Concern

Habitat- Southern Pacific Ocean

Size (Weight/Length)- 20 cm

Diet- Mollusks; Shrimp; Crabs; Sea Urchins

Cool Facts- The sculptured mitten lobster is a friend-shaped crustacean. Their shovel-like body helps them to hide between rocks. In addition, their large body surface makes it very hard to pry them off a rock, forcing predators to face their tough shell. Over time, algae and barnacles grow on their shell and aides in their camouflage. Unlike the American lobster, sculptured mitten lobsters lack claws. The strange protrusions at the front of their head are actually modified antennae. The antennae are used to dig through sand in search of mollusks to munch on. 

Rating- 11/10 (Lovingly called mudbugs.)

Paul Robeson speaks to reporters on August 28, 1949, about the riot in Peekskill where he was supposed to sing. The local KKK (yes, there was one) objected to his open admiration for Communism (as well as, no doubt, his color) and tore down the stage on which he was supposed to appear. Busloads of Harlem residents had gone to the concert, a benefit for the Harlem chapter of the Civil Rights Congress. Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, and Lee Hays were also on the bill. The ensuing riot injured eight people, two seriously.

Robeson asked Governor Thomas Dewey to open an investigation of the riot, but he refused.

The Larents said “Happy Two-Eight! Please, with our whole chests, celebrate!” The moth and the hiddies, It Is What It Is freed ... And, like them, we now can’t think straight.

“1 found it, from before the beginning. A video lost.

These ideas did go from paper to screen. I was there, but no one ever saw it - at least not to my knowledge.

I've just been going over the lore tonight and it hit me: What if it was never released because it said too much...

What if I've been harboring the end this whole time?

The fight to escape has been raging longer than anyone realizes. Were these the original battle plans?”

The construction of Lincoln Center required the obliteration of the neighborhood known as San Juan Hill. It was home to a large population of Blacks, Puerto Ricans, and Afro-Caribbeans when Harlem was still White. Also known as "the Jungles," it was the setting for West Side Story, which opened on Broadway in 1957. It also had a lot of middle-class White residents.

As that was happening, residents were fighting the proposal for an arts complex in the Lincoln Square part of the neighborhood. The poster above urged residents to attend a meeting to stop the project on August 28, 1957. Harris L. Present, a lawyer who had long advocated for the rights of minority groups in the city, led the fight. More than 400 residents showed up. Present urged them to march on City Hall on September 11, hoping to overwhelm the City Planning Commission with pickets and testimony.

Check back here on September 11, 2023, for the sequel. (Spoiler: Lincoln Center was built anyway.)
