Source: phys.orgTo be able to self-determine is to be able to control one's own life and tell one's own story—an ability that people who were enslaved in the U.S. did not legally have before the Emancipation Proclamation (1862) or the 13th and 14th amendments. The ability to purchase land, not just work it, represented Black Americans' hard-won and newfound ability to self-determine.

South Carolina GOP sets Feb. 24 date for first-in-the-South presidential primary
COLUMBIA, S.C. – South Carolina Republicans have set Feb. 24 as the date of their 2024 presidential primary, a move that, if approved, the party says will give GOP White House hopefuls more time to campaign in the first-in-the-South state. The RNC voted last year to maintain its voting order, with Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada going ahead of other states. “This is a great opportunity for South Carolina Republicans and for our candidates and the voters in South Carolina to get to interact one on one, not just in large masses," Walker said. Republican candidates must file with the South Carolina GOP by Oct. 31 under the approved measure. During Saturday's meeting, South Carolina GOP members also approved the selection of former President Donald Trump as the speaker at the Aug. 5 Silver Elephant Gala, the party’s signature fundraiser.

Inferiority-complex fallout of Lanka’s majority View(s):Over the past several decades attempts have been made to consider the geopolitical status of Sri Lanka alongside Tamil Nadu, which would result in the independence and sovereignty of this island nation reduced to zero. We recall the fallout envisaged of bringing together the then populous state of Tamil Nadu 75 million to Sri Lanka’s 15 million or so by a visiting academic of New York (in the1980s): It creates an inferiority complex among the majority of the Sri Lankan community. This is an issue which Sri Lanka has to maintain extreme vigilance lest it becomes a vassal state of the Indian Union. It was at this point he claimed that India had done more for Sri Lanka than the IMF. Meanwhile, what is the response of Sri Lanka’s Foreign Ministry to the Sword of Damocles hanging over Lanka’s sovereignty and independence?
