Black Background & Cultural Viewpoints: This isn’t my listing, besides the last 2. In my perspective, history has in fact been a lot as well enter its retrospective evaluation of its leaders. That enters into the aspect we can not as a nation accept the home of systemic bigotry till we recognize how much time our strategies were created by and performed by racists.

Yehiel Curry as its first Black presiding bishop Saturday, a landmark moment for the predominantly white denomination. “It hasn’t really hit me yet,” Curry told The Associated Press a week before his installation. “The fact that you’re a first.” Curry succeeds the Rev.

The centrepiece of this transformation is a massive Samsung-powered LED installation in Stage 3, featuring a 24 x 4.5 metre back…

From Hollywood to Home: Black Voices in Entertainment From the outside, the Harris County Jail might be mistaken for a high-end condo, with walls of windows that overlook the bayou in downtown Houston. But the windows are fake, and the inmates inside—most of whom are awaiting trial—face harrowing conditions. “Criminal” uses music and lyrics by the Tony Award-winning artists Stew Stewart and Heidi Rodewald; animation by Thomas Curtis, who was incarcerated for eleven years; testimony from legal advocates; and excerpts of letters written by inmates to create a dire picture of the reality of the criminal-justice system. It focusses in…
