For what it is worth, Jim Crow predated and outlasted the Progressive Era in the US. I wouldn't so much apply causation there.
But it also ended in the 20s. It mainly achieved Women's suffrage in the US.

I mean the church pretty told it was Portugal and Spain's job to loot their respective partitions of gold and silver for the church, so yeah.
The Pope had kind of done that already a century back. Picked a line in Brazil and said Portugal gets everything East and Castile(Spain) gets everything West.
Spain won that gamble.
The early colonies were expeditions with very vague and arbitrary claims. It was stuff like "We claim 100 miles from this point in each direction and then everything between there and this river and... that mountain."
That's what Teamsters did at the RNC and people were far more angry at Teamsters than Republicans happy at hearing a working class message.
The modern update would have the other tables being bombed for existing in War's space.
Poor depressurized deep sea fish. That thing is dead from being turned inside out from the vacuum pressure of being hauled out of the ocean. They don't look like that until we do that to 'em.
I believe these would be documented direct killings of journalists while doing their jobs. Not civilians who were journalists killed in indiscriminate bombing campaigns and death squads.
The longest filibuster (against Civil Rights) famously included a curtain and a bucket.
The harsh interpretation is that Cory is only looking to shore up good will towards the Democratic Party faction that includes Chuck. Hence this isn't actually a filibuster that might stop something from passing.
The more charitable view is that Congressman Booker is reaponding to criticism by demonstrating a level of action not seen outside an Independent senator and a handful of other house members.
I ain't rooting against his effort one bit in the face of the GOP, even under the most cynical interpretations of recouperation.

Yeah, as that's what that time period is called: "Progressive Era".
No, I am not referring to the period following Prohibition Era and the Great Depression which was an intermediate (1920s-1930s) before New Deal.
If you're taking issue with the 'Progressive Era' being called 'Progressive' then sure. I get you then. It mostly just achived women's suffrage as a meaningful milestone, as I said.
