Description:
You have to tip your hat to the fans of the Kentucky Derby. For 150 years now, they have shown up on the first Saturday in May wearing their Sunday best–or better.<br/><br/>Dressing up on Derby Day is a tradition that dates back to the early days of the Run for the Roses. In 1875, when Colonel Merriwether Lewis Clark Jr.—grandson of the famed American explorer—helped found the race, he was inspired by England’s Epsom Derby, which had formal dress codes for spectators, including hats. By the time the Derby was first televised in 1952, fine millinery was as ubiquitous as a fresh mint julep at Churchill Downs.<br/><br/>Today, there is no official dress code at Churchill Downs, although spectators at the 150th running of the Kentucky Derby hardly need reminding that they are as much on parade as the Thoroughbreds in the paddock. Clark’s original fashion policy is just fine with the 150,000 who will attend the first jewel of the Triple Crown. Even fans who wouldn’t know a furlong from a fetlock, understand that Derby Day requires the widest brims, the boldest colors and the most outrageous equestrian clichés.<br/><br/>Read the full story:<br/>https://www.forbes.com/sites/msolomon/2023/05/06/best-hats-2023-kentucky-derby/<br/><br/>Subscribe to FORBES: https://www.youtube.com/user/Forbes?sub_confirmation=1<br/><br/>Fuel your success with Forbes.

Some argue that these names and symbols represent a painful legacy of racism and oppression, while others view them as a part of Southern heritage and history. <br/><br/>In this context, the decision of a Virginia school board to restore Confederate names likely reflects a broader societal tension between historical preservation and the desire for social justice and inclusivity. Supporters of restoring these names may argue that they are preserving tradition and honoring the historical figures associated with them. They might also emphasize the importance of recognizing all aspects of history, even those that are uncomfortable or controversial.<br/><br/>On the other hand, opponents of restoring Confederate names may argue that these figures represent a dark chapter in American history characterized by slavery, segregation, and systemic racism. They might contend that by perpetuating these names, institutions are perpetuating harmful narratives and failing to create inclusive environments for all students.<br/><br/>Overall, decisions regarding Confederate names in public spaces are complex and often contentious, reflecting broader debates about how societies reckon with their past and work towards a more equitable future.")

He's taking it all in.'<br/><br/>Liverpool fans responded to the video, with some saying they were 'heartbroken' ahead of the German's exit from the club.<br/><br/>One fan said: 'That video of Jurgen Klopp standing alone in Anfield taking it all in by himself got me. Genuinely feel heartbroken. 9 years is a big part of our lives.'<br/><br/>@Raws_LFC commented: 'What a guy, irreplaceable,' while another supporter said: 'This has me gone already.'<br/><br/> A fourth fan wrote: 'I didn't expect that. The wave of emotions I got when I saw that was surprising. Sunday will be extremely hard to not be emotional.'<br/><br/>@HawkieHawkins96 said: 'To put this into context, I was about to turn 17 when he was appointed LFC manager... I'm now 27 years old.<br/><br/>'Been a huge part of my life supporting this incredible club.' <br/><br/>While another fan said on Sunday that they will be a 'grown man crying like a baby.' <br/><br/>Klopp replaced Brendan Rodgers as manager on October 8, 2015, and this weekend's clash with Wolves will be his 489th match in charge of the Reds.<br/><br/>Liverpool had long been in the hunt for the Premier League title this season, before a bad run of form in recent weeks, meant they fell out of the hunt behind Arsenal and Manchester City.<br/><br/>The German already looked emotional as he clapped the support at Villa Park in his final away game in charge during Liverpool's 3-3 draw with Aston Villa.<br/><br/>'I know it's the last time, it just doesn't feel (like) it,' Klopp told reporters after the game. <br/><br/>'The away fans were always absolutely insane. What they did, where they were, we asked them to travel a lot over the years. It is a wonderful relationship.'<br/>")
