Sam Cooke - A Change Is Gonna Come (Official Lyric Video) "A Change Is Gonna Come” by Sam Cooke Lyrics: I was born by the river in a little tent Oh, and just like the river I’ve been a-runnin’ ever since. It’s been a long, a long time comin’, but I know,…

THIS DAY in 1964, Sam Cooke was murdered. They called it 'Self Defense'.

His 1964 song, 'A Change is Gonna Come' was inspired by he and his entourage being turned away from a whites-only motel in Louisiana.

It continues to be an anthem for the Civil Rights Movement to this day.

@bsky.app WHY can't we save an image from a post without having to open it in a separate window? An unnecessary extra step. A small thing but a pretty basic thing.

THIS DAY in 1948, the Universal Declaration on Human Rights was published and adopted by 48 nations.

The ECHR is based mainly on this. UK Human Rights Act is based mainly on ECHR and UDHR.

And Right Wing Reform and Tory Fascists want to remove it all, just as #Trump is doing in the USA.

"Welcome to Britain, a country so short of dentists that an MP's 87-year-old mum pulled her teeth out with pliers"

Mind you, this tell me a lot about that MP. MPs get paid very well and get loads of expenses.

He couldn't have paid for a private dentist for his own mother?

Only just today realised that one of my favourite choc bars years ago, Topic, was discontinued in 2021, quietly.

Found this out because friend told me they they just bought 20 on Amazon. The only place they are still available.

I imagine, very old ones.
