According to video recordings, when a ship tries to pass through the strait of Hormuz, Iranian navy says: “The Strait of Hormuz is still closed. We will open it by the order of our leader Imam Khamenei, not by the tweets of some idiot.”

A photo of two lanterns shining from Old North Church's steeple in Boston.

On this night 251 years ago, two men climbed Old North Church's steeple. They held high two lanterns as a signal from Paul Revere that the British were heading to Concord by way of the Charles River.

Their famous “one if by land, two if by sea” warning ignited the American Revolution.

Today is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

Eva Frankfurther, a Jewish refugee who fled Nazi Germany as a child and later lived in Britain, often painted people who labored in the everyday public life of post-World War II London. Around this time, she worked at Lyons Corner House, and the museum identifies these uniforms as Lyons uniforms, tying this painting to the restaurant world the artist knew firsthand. 

Two Caribbean women in white waitress uniforms sit or lean closely together at a café counter. Their crisp crossover bodices and curved white caps mark them as workers, but Frankfurther gives far more attention to their faces, posture, and shared presence than to the setting. The woman at left, with medium-brown skin and softly waved dark hair, turns toward her coworker with lowered eyes and a tired expression. Her forearm stretches across the counter toward a small glass containing an amber drink. The woman at right, with deeper brown skin, looks in profile toward her companion as a small earring catches the light near her ear. Her hand holds a plain grey plate in the foreground. The background is a warm pink-beige wash, spare and quiet, so the women’s bodies, uniforms, and exchanged attention become the painting’s center of gravity. The mood is intimate, hushed, and observant.

Rather than treating the women as anonymous staff, she gives the unidentified women individuality, closeness, and emotional depth. Their mirrored arrangement suggests solidarity, but the painting does not sentimentalize service work so that fatigue, patience, and mutual recognition remain visible. In 1950s Britain, Caribbean migrants were reshaping the nation’s social and cultural life, often while facing racism and exclusion. Frankfurther’s painting quietly insists that these women belong at the center of modern British history. What might seem at first like a modest workplace scene becomes a portrait of dignity, migration, and human connection.
