Black Blacksmiths Built the Ironwork Still Defining Southern Cities

By Shikha D | San Diego Voice and Viewpoint Some things to know about Black blacksmiths are that skilled artisans worked under very difficult conditions, ironwork was a form of artistic expression for them, and it still defines and shapes the Southern landscape. You probably had no idea, but a lot of the ironwork that you see as you walk through many historic Southern cities comes from the labor and creativity of Black blacksmiths. One great example from Charleston ironwork […]

Moore, and Alderwoman Marina Dimitrijevic We have been made aware that there is elevated ICE activity in Milwaukee.

COMMENTARY: America Hangs a Help Wanted Sign: “FOR U.S. CITIZENSHIP – WHITES ONLY!”

DETROIT – Words from Emma Lazarus’ poem The New Colossus, “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore, send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp by the golden door,” seem to have been etched from the bronze plaque of the Statue of Liberty. It should now read, “Don’t give me your tired, your huddled masses, who don’t deserve to breathe free, they lack the […]

COMMENTARY: It Is Time to Redraw the Revolution, Again

America turns 250 this week. We should be proud. We should also be honest. Every year, we remember Paul Revere’s ride. As we should. We should also reckon with Paul Revere’s picture. His engraving of the Boston Massacre helped light the fire for revolution. It showed British soldiers firing into a crowd. Men fell dead in the street. Yet the first man killed that night is hidden in plain sight. His name was Crispus Attucks. He was a sailor of […]

Supreme Court Upholds Birthright Citizenship – Here’s How Trump Can Still Crush Birth Tourism

In a 6-3 decision released today, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down President Trump’s executive order attempting to limit birthright citizenship. The ruling in Trump v. Barbara reaffirms that nearly all children born on American soil are U.S. citizens under the 14th Amendment, regardless of their parents’ immigration status.This outcome was expected after oral arguments signaled skepticism toward reinterpreting “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States. While the constitutional principle stands, the decision doesn’t tie the administration’s hands on […]

The Golden Thirteen | BlackPressUSA

For 146 years, the U.S. Navy had no Black officers until 13 Black men — many from Chicago — endured the pain and humiliation of segregation to blaze the trail for thousands of Black sailors. On the 75th anniversary of their historic achievement on a naval base, they remain forgotten, unsung heroes who served a country that gave them little respect. EDITOR’S NOTE: This story was first published in the Chicago Crusader on May 25, 2019 Spring was settling in […]

COMMENTARY: Hey, Cousin: What I Saw On Juneteenth At Andrew Jackson’s Plantation

By Ben Jealous | Trice Edney Wire On Juneteenth, I traveled to the Hermitage, President Andrew Jackson’s plantation outside Nashville, to celebrate Black music.

When freedom came, he chose the name Jackson for himself. He asked to be buried beside the president, and he was. She stood on that same ground and spoke. Other […]

COMMENTARY: 50 Years Later, is ‘Roots’ on the Wrong Side of History?

By Erin Kaplan | Guest Columnist Fifty summers ago, in 1976, journalist and author Alex Haley published his masterwork, “Roots: The Saga of an American Family.” The timing was exquisite: As the nation celebrated the bicentennial with fireworks and paeans to freedom, “Roots” countered it with a deeply personal, Black-centered narrative of American history that began in Africa and cast the horror of slavery as foundational, not incidental, to the country’s founding and its character. Despite its unflinching truths, “Roots” […]
