We join people around the world mourning the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. In 2007, the National Mall hosted a royal visit as the Queen toured the World War II Memorial. Although she was only a teenager during the war, the then Princess joined the Auxiliary Territorial Service - the women’s branch of the British Army - to work as a military mechanic. When the war ended in 1945, she joined the crowd celebrating in the streets. Anonymous in her uniform, she later said, “I think it was one of the most memorable nights of my life.” Her reign of 70 years and seven months was the longest of any British monarch. An extraordinary life has come to an end.

One of the greatest cyclists of all time- Major Taylor.

“Between 1896 and around 1910, before Jack Johnson, Jesse Owens, Jackie Robinson and Joe Louis, there was Major Taylor, the first authentic and recognized Black sports superstar in America.

“Taylor, who did not drink or smoke or chase women, was one of the richest athletes of his day and the most dominant athlete in one of America’s biggest sports―cycling.

“Two decades before Babe Ruth signed his astronomical $20,000 contract for the New York Yankees in 1920, Taylor was turning down $20,000 paydays in Europe because of his religious beliefs he refused to race on Sundays.

“He is the most unrecognized superstar athlete who has ever lived,” said Terry Kerber, who along with his brother Conrad Kerber, co-wrote, “Major Taylor: The Inspiring Story of a Black Cyclist and the Men Who Helped Him Achieve Worldwide Fame,” in 2014.”
