For the most part we tend to lead off our daily News & Notes posts with some personal anecdote or note about a current event and leave the links to your own perusing, but today I’d like to highlight a link in particular. If you read one link this weekend make it this New York Times article about Cheryl White, the first Black female licensed jockey. I didn’t know her name, and you likely don’t either, but more people should. Why? See above.
