When the Majestic Star Casino closes its doors for the final time at midnight on Sunday (April 18) after a 25-year run in the City of Gary, it will be difficult to forget the man who made it all happen, Donald H. Barden.
Giovanni Taliaferro, Director of Memorabilia Design for Hard Rock International, uncrated the âGuitar the Changed the Worldâ on Thursday. The guitar will be displayed inside the casino as part of the music memorabilia collection.

President Joe Biden’s January Executive Order on Racial Equity gives us occasion during Black History Month to celebrate and commemorate the achievements of a native son of Delaware and beloved head of our family who made transformational contributions to educational equality in the Delaware public schools. Dr. Joseph E. Johnson, Jr., the son of a Pullman man and a domestic worker, grew up in the well-kept and solid, working-class East Side of Wilmington, effectively the only part of town where African American families were allowed to reside at that time.
