On June 17, 2021, President Joe Biden announced that the addition of a new federal holiday to recognize Juneteenth. The Juneteenth holiday was commemorated in African-American communities throughout United States history. However outside of black communities there were lots of questions following the President's announcement as to the meaning and significance of this holiday. President Biden's announcement also followed the Senate unanimously passing the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act on June 15, 2021. The holiday name derives from June and Nineteenth and is referred to as a portmanteau or a blend of words. The holiday celebrates the Emancipation of slaves in states in rebellion against the Union on June 19, 1865 which is the date slaves in Texas were proclaimed free.Recent hot topics such as the detention and trial in Russia of WNBA star Brittney Griner in Russia on cannabis oil possession charges as well as the ongoing controversy related to the August 28, 1955 murder of 14 year old Emmett Till in Mississippi following charges that were later proved to be based on false and contradictory testimony. The accuser Carolyn Bryant as well as the people who murdered Emmett have never been brought to justice.

A year ago, Tulare County native Jose Manuel Martinez was facing 10 life terms in prison before a trial in Florida that could have resulted in the death penalty. But after testimony from his family, painting Martinez as nothing but a loving father, uncle, and brother, he was spared, and given another life sentence. He confessed to killing three dozen people over the course of 30 years as an assassin for hire. Many of those murders took place in the southern Central Valley where he went by the moniker, “El Mano Negra,” the black hand . His crimes are the subject of a new book by Buzzfeed investigations editor Jessica Garrison called “ The Devil’s Harvest .” In the interview above, Garrison talks about what it was like to piece together Martinez’s life, and how he got away with so many murders. She also explains why it was important to include stories about where Martinez lived, a census-designated community in Tulare County called Earlimart. The poor community has seen indifference from
The group’s URL evocatively posits the question, Who Is Arthur King? It’s not a particularly easy question to answer. It never is with a collective. For the sake of brevity, we’ll cowardly default its own description. Arthur King is an experimental music and visual art collective seeking to engage the tension between the known and unknown inherent in creative expression. For the sake of this interview, Arthur King is, in part, former Earlimart guitarist Aaron Espinoza and painter, John Schlue. The first of a three part series, the duo will be joined in coming weeks by Grandaddy’s Jason Lytle and No Age’s Randy Randall. All parties sat down to discuss their on-going collaborations while putting on an exhibition in Manhattan. In this first part, Espinoza and Schlue discuss the collective’s multimedia work.
