Rosa Parks refused to give her bus seat to a white man 68 years ago today in Alabama. She was arrested.

Shirley Chisholm, the first Black woman elected to U.S. Congress in 1968, & the 1st Black candidate to make a major party bid for the U.S. presidency, would have turned 99 today.

Today, the legendary Voice of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Vin Scully, would have turned 96 years young.

His career with the team spanned 67 years. Vin could tell a story like no other and was considered by many to be the greatest baseball broadcaster of all time.

Thinking of him today.

I will always remember investing genius Charlie Munger on stage with Warren Buffett at the Berkshire Hathaway shareholder meetings.

The pair would have Cokes & See's Candy to enjoy. This was one of the fond memories I had of him, and I enjoyed his company.

May he RIP.
