When Domingo Germán received the news that his beloved uncle, who was a constant father figure in his life, had passed away on June 26, he was utterly devastated. He could not stop the tears from flowing. Domingo was a mess in the clubhouse the day prior to his pitching outing but he was not about to miss his date with destiny. His uncle would have wanted it that way.
On Wednesday, June 28, 2023 Domingo stepped up to the mound but he was not alone. His tío querido was right there beside him. Together they made history… Domingo became only the 24th player in major league history to ever pitch a Perfect Game, he is also the 4th Yankee and the first Dominican to do so. To God goes the glory…

You are either at the table or you are on the menu.
With that said, head to the polls and participate in your democracy!

Scholars of this period point out that acknowledging the queer culture and nightlife of the Harlem Renaissance is essential in order to paint a full picture of the time—and also to show that there was a thriving LGBTQ+ scene in New York City that long predated the 1969 Stonewall uprising, even though that moment is often credited with ushering in the modern LGBTQ+ movement.
