Egyptian feminist, doctor, novelist and activist Nawal El Saadawi, 87, has a crowdfunding page up to pay her hospital bills.  The latest update is that she is getting better, but definitely someone to keep an eye on, as her health looks rather perilous.  Also, as an added bonus, she's the subject of frequent death threats from disgruntled Islamic traditionalists who consider her enlightened views to be heretical.

Dr. Lonnie King Jr., a leader of the Atlanta Student Movement in the 1960s, died Tuesday morning.

King, who studied at Morehouse College, was one of the students who went against the university leader’s attempts to keep students from protesting. He, along with civil rights leaders such as Julian Bond, planned to following in the footsteps of the sit-ins that happened in Greensboro, North Carolina.
