Today is Purim. Purim is a Jewish holiday that commemorates the deliverance of the Jewish people in the ancient Persian Empire from destruction in the wake of a plot by Haman to kill all Jews in the empire. His plans were foiled by Mordecai and his adopted daughter Queen Esther. The day of deliverance became a day of feasting and rejoicing. Purim is celebrated by giving reciprocal gifts of food and drink, giving charity to the poor, a celebratory meal, and public recitation of the Scroll of Esther.

Coinciding with Saint Patrick’s Day, Irish American Month is a proclamation usually issued annually by the President and sometimes Congress to honor the achievements and contributions of Irish immigrants and their descendants. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 36.3 million Americans, or 11.9% of the total population, claim Irish ancestry. Several American Presidents claim Irish ancestry and have made trips to Ireland.

In honor of Black History Month, we are highlighting stories from the African American Community. This image shows Dr. Rudolph Fisher, a radiologist and medical school graduate of Howard University. Dr. Fisher was also an accomplished writer, publishing, among other works, The Walls of Jericho, a novel about an African American man purchasing a home in a wealthy neighborhood near Harlem. The novel, a satire, emphasizes themes of race and class conflict and difference. Dr. Fisher died at only 37 from cancer—possibly from his work with x-rays.
