A big honor for three heroes in Newark who also made history breaking racial barriers. A firehouse was dedicated Friday to the city's first three African-American firefighters.
A session in the Colorado House of Representatives turned south when one of the state s lawmakers referred to one of his colleagues with what many consider a racially insensitive term.
The incident occurred yesterday, Wednesday, May 5th, as Republican Representative Richard Holtorf was addressing the house about a piece of legislation when another representative chimed in, seemingly from the back of the room.
The piece of legislature was in regard to military rules of engagement, though it is unclear exactly what the bill entails.

I m getting there. Don t worry, Buckwheat. I m getting there.
This remark resulted in the house speaker slamming her gavel as the commotion in the house erupted. Holtorf then tried to ease the situation by saying that the term he used to confront his dissenter was endearing.
