1958 – Chad


Coat of arms of Chad.svg

A large measure of autonomy was conceded under the constitutional law of 1957, when the first territorial government was formed by Gabriel Lisette, a West Indian who had become the leader of the Chad Progressive Party (PPT).

An autonomous republic within the French Community was proclaimed in November 1958, and complete independence in the restructured community was attained on Aug. 11, 1960.

The country’s stability was endangered by tensions between the Black and often Christian populations of the more economically progressive southwest and the conservative, Muslim, nonblack leadership of the old feudal states of the north, and its problems were further complicated by Libyan involvement.

Billboards work. On to the Senate.


There were 3 critical holdouts on the Build Back Better Act in the House―Josh Gottheimer, Kathleen Rice, and Scott Peters. We ran our billboards in their districts, and made sure that their constituents knew what they were up to. All 3 voted yes today. Our billboards work.

Senate Majority Leader Schumer has pledged to enact this bill by the end of the year. So we’re driving our billboard trucks to West Virginia to put the pressure on Senator Joseph Manchin III.
