"I read the news today, oh boy.”

-The Beatles, A Day In The Life

Oh, Boy.

That’s how I felt when I heard the news this past November: One hundred Black servicemen, sentenced to life in prison for their alleged involvement in what was called a riot, in Houston, Texas, nearly 100 years ago, had been ceremoniously reinstated by the US Army with full honors and benefits for their descendants. In short, they had finally been forgiven.
