A presidential first: Trump at the Super Bowl, latest chapter in a complicated legacy with football

As a student, Donald Trump played high school football. As a business baron, he owned a team in an upstart rival to the NFL and then sued the established league. As president, he denigrated pros who took a knee during the national anthem as part of a social justice movement. He added to that complicated history with the sport on Sunday by becoming the first president in office to attend a Super Bowl. After flying from Florida to New Orleans, the Republican president met with participants in […]

Donald Trump began erasing Joe Biden ’s legacy immediately after taking office as the nation’s 47th president on Monday, pardoning nearly all of his supporters who rioted at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and issuing a blizzard of executive orders that signal his desire to remake American institutions. It was an aggressive start for a returning president who feels emboldened and vindicated by his unprecedented political comeback.

Jimmy Carter’s life intersected with slavery’s legacy. His record on Civil Rights is complicated

Young Jimmy Carter and his friends were walking across a pasture after a day’s farm labor during the Great Depression. As they came to a gate, his companions stood aside and let Carter enter first. This was no act of kindness or intuitive deference to a future U.S. president. The teens stopped because they were Black, and James Earl Carter Jr. was white, a 14-year-old whose father owned the Georgia land they all worked. After years of playing and working […]

Tim Scott becomes longest-serving Black U.S. senator but his legacy sparks debate

Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., made history on Friday when the new 119th Congress was sworn in, making him the longest-serving Black U.S. senator. The achievement marks a turning point in U.S. politics, where Black Americans were historically shut out of public office, particularly in the South. Scott, 59, has represented South Carolina in the U.S. Senate for 12 years.  The former U.S. congressman, state representative, and Charleston City Council member was first appointed to the Senate by then-South Carolina Gov.
