The American Red Cross was founded on this day — May 21, 1881.
On the founding anniversary of the American Red Cross, here’s Kathleen Kennedy in her A.R.C. uniform from World War II. The photo was taken in London, circa 1943.
Kathleen was the second daughter and fourth child of Joseph and Rose Kennedy.

Scientific Community Expresses Support for Kiera Wilmot
Below is a link to an article I found in Scientific American that expresses support for high school student, Kiera Wilmot, who was expelled and arrested when a science experiment went ary and exploded at school. Given that the same prosecutor who has now charged Wilmot as an adult with a felony, just a few days later dropped charges on a white minor whose violent actions led to a fatality, the story has an even greater air of misjustice.If you can take a moment in your day, call the numbers in the article and lend your voice to the growing outrage over this honor student’s treatment for her intellectual curiosity.
