By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near. {5T 451.1}

The year 1974 gave the world monumental moments in Black history, from Hank Aaron breaking Babe Ruth's all-time home run record to the Boston busing riots to big moments in Hollywood, Axios' Russell Contreras writes.

  • For Black History Month, Axios is looking back 50 years.

  • "After decades in which black women typically appeared in movies as maids, Grier broke the mold completely," The New Yorker reports.
  • She starred in action films, portraying heroines who fought the bad guys.
