Illinois Honors Barack Obama With His Own Holiday
Former President Barack Obama has been honored with his very own holiday in the state of Illinois. Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner signed into law Friday a measure to designate August 4th as “Barack Obama Day.” The holiday will be celebrated on President Obama’s birthday, beginning in 2018. Gov.

Black-Owned Ride Share App Moovn Takes Advantage of Uber Boycott
