PAIRING
"In 1961, Ross and his wife bought a house in North Lawndale, a bustling community on Chicago’s West Side. North Lawndale had long been a predominantly Jewish neighborhood, but a handful of middle-class African Americans had lived there starting in the ’40s. The community was anchored by the sprawling Sears, Roebuck headquarters. North Lawndale’s Jewish People’s Institute actively encouraged blacks to move into the neighborhood, seeking to make it a “pilot community for interracial living.” In the battle for integration then being fought around the country, North Lawndale seemed to offer promising terrain. But out in the tall grass, highwaymen, nefarious as any Clarksdale kleptocrat, were lying in wait."

'Somali society is the ancient home for the xeer justice system. Within this system, only the victim or immediate family of a victim can bring criminal proceedings to mediation. In xeer, crimes are defined as transgressions against property rights. If found guilty, the accused must pay some form of material restitution. If restitution cannot be given, a diyya (financial payment) is due to the victim or their family, often measured in terms of livestock. There is no concept of imprisonment under xeer.'

"Me ah drink pine and ginger
Him wah me fi wine pon di ting and me nuh play that
Me ah drink pine and ginger
Him wah me fi wine pon di ting and me nuh play that

Guess him nuh care 'bout tomorrow
I guess me nuh care 'bout tomorrow"
