Judge Benjamin Hayes knew the eyes of Los Angeles were on him. In January 1856, the hard-living judge presided over a hearing that would rock Los Angeles, a dusty, dangerous pueblo of approximately 4,000 souls. Out of the hearing would emerge Biddy Mason, a formerly enslaved woman who would become one of the most important and one of the wealthiest landowners, midwives and philanthropists in early-American Los Angeles.
Mason was so beloved that people in need would line up in front of her house on First Street, eager for Aunt Biddy s assistance, which she always gave until she grew too old and infirm. She showed people what could happen when they were free and could set their own destiny, says Jackie Broxton, executive director of the Biddy Mason Charitable Foundation.

How the Trump Administration Is on a Killing Spree
The trump administration carried out its ninth execution of the year and the first during a presidential lame-duck period in 130 years.

Bernard, 40, was one of five gang members convicted in Texas of killing Stacie and Todd Bagley who were youth ministers in 1999. The gunman, Christopher Vialva, was executed in September, while the other co-defendants were given lesser sentences according to CNN.
