Dear VJ,
Thanks for the additional work for FJ. This is a great site. I can certainly appreciate that Lou probably meant love of learning or missing his school years. I value all learning but always ask that events be presented as factually as possible. You all do such a good job in that department!
So nice of you to say so, Sam, and it’s very much appreciated. I do my best to find interesting supplemental information on FJ and related articles that my readers might otherwise not see.
When I made my first website, people with interesting sites from all over the world helped me. I never forgot that so it’s a way of paying it forward.
Pushing the envelope is what James Holzhauer did.
Hi Lou,
I hope I misunderstood your comments that Plessy v Ferguson brought back good memories for you. That case summarized “separate but equal”/(segregation) as the legal norm for education. Perhaps you meant Brown v Board of Education (1954) which reversed Plessy v Ferguson as unconstitutional and was one of the cornerstones of the civil rights movement. It helped establish the precedent that “separate-but-equal” education and other services were not, in fact, equal at all.
@Sam, I took Lou’s comment to mean that he has good memories of learning about the case. I was glad this came up today upon finding that article I linked to in the recap and learning how Harlan came to see the error of his pro-slavery stance. I had no idea he was a former slaveholder or that he had a half-brother who was half-African American.
Lou has a good heart based upon his previous postings on FF. I took his posted comment to mean he missed his grade school days when he was younger.
Yeah, Lou’s ancestors faced horrendous discrimination in the 19th century. See The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882
A very easy final to close off this week but I hope we get another streaker soon despite that returning champion dismissal. Plessy vs Ferguson was something I studied back in grade school and it still brings back good memories for me. Perhaps Brian can build up on his win to end the leader curse. Miranda vs Arizona and Marbury vs Madison were some of the other cases I know.
Today, we get a contestant who is not from Southern California, we have Jamelle from Las Vegas, Nevada.
I’m guessing she drove to Southern California.
I’m guessing she went to the airport and flew from Las Vegas to California.
VJ, This week, we ended the week with a new champion. Usually we ended the week with a repeat champion. Here are this week’s champs
Kristin returned as 2 day champ on Monday and won her 3rd game, for the rest of the week it was a one day champ carousel, Carlos won Tuesday, Aimee won on Wednesday, Colin won on Thursday which is yesterday and Brian won on Friday which is today.
Good afternoon VJ, today you posted the Jeopardy daily recap so early. Usually you posted between 3:30 and 4:00.
@Kevin Cheng, there are times I get my recap done early and just don’t publish it right away. Today, I had to leave for a Dr’s appt at 1:45 p.m. (central). and I did some advance planning so you guys wouldn’t have to wait till I got back.
