Before his slavery remark, in 2017 Trump praised the National Museum of African American History and Culture. Here’s what he said

President Donald Trump‘s latest remark about slavery has put renewed scrutiny on the Smithsonian museums, which are currently under internal review by the White House to “remove divisive or partisan narratives” and “restore confidence in our shared cultural institutions.” In a Tuesday Truth Social post, the president appeared to suggest that the topic of slavery was a breach of what his administration considers too “woke.” “The Museums throughout Washington, but all over the Country are, essentially, the last remaining segment […]

Most influential Black politicians in American history

Historically, Black political power has not come easy in the United States. The institution of slavery and systems of racial inequality – from Black Codes to Jim Crow – restricted the civil and political rights of African Americans for centuries.  But through activism and great sacrifice, Black Americans have built political power over time.

U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, said voters may eventually have second thoughts about electing President Donald Trump, who has signed a dizzying number of executive orders upending the federal government and threatening trillions of dollars in funding. When asked on “The View” about Trump’s solid approval rating four weeks into his administration and whether Democrats should become more “moderate” on policy issues, Crockett said the Democratic Party has to “do better at education,” particularly after the 2024 presidential election that […]

Trump puts tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China, spurring trade war as North American allies respond

President Donald Trump on Saturday signed an order to impose stiff tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada and China, drawing swift retaliation and an undeniable sense of betrayal from the country’s North American neighbors as a trade war erupted among the longtime allies. The Republican president posted on social media that the tariffs were necessary “to protect Americans,” pressing the three nations to do more to curb the manufacture and export of illicit fentanyl and for Canada and Mexico to reduce illegal […]

Black American and African faith leaders band together to take on Trump and White Christian nationalism

The bracing for President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming White House and its implications extends beyond Black, Brown, and marginalized communities within America’s borders. A second Trump term and its hostility toward racial justice, LGBTQ+ equality, and its embrace of White Christian nationalism are also concerning on the continent of Africa.  Faith and religious leaders in Africa are banding together with Black American allies to fight back against what they see as a political movement driving Trumpism, global authoritarianism, and an international […]

The American paradox of protest: Celebrated and condemned

NEW YORK (AP) — They’re hallmarks of American history: protests, rallies, sit-ins, marches, disruptions. They date from the early days of what would become the United States to the sights and sounds echoing across the landscapes of the nation’s colleges and universities during this activist spring. And just as much a part of that American history? Those same events being met with irritation, condemnation, anger, calls to desist, and at times the use of law enforcement and aggressive tactics to make that […]
