 ‘Recognition, responsibility, and restitution’: Ghana presents historic reparations push for Africans and Black Americans

For centuries, the transatlantic slave trade has been treated as history — a horrific chapter to be memorialized but not rectified. Last week at the United Nations General Assembly, Ghana’s president, John Dramani Mahama, forced the world to confront that fiction, calling the trade “the greatest crime against humanity” and demanding reparations on behalf of Africans and their descendants worldwide. Mahama announced plans to submit the first formal motion calling for reparative justice through a global body. The proposal challenges […]

President Donald Trump‘s deployment of the military in Chicago has resulted in clashes in court and on the streets as local leaders and activists fight to end what they say is an “invasion” of the majority Black and brown city. On the heels of what Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker described as a “military-style” ICE raid of an apartment building in a majority-Black neighborhood in Chicago that resulted in women and children being zip-tied, the state and city of Chicago filed […]

Trump redistricting push threatens minority representation. Black voters worry about its impact

The Rev. Emanuel Cleaver III wants a second Civil Rights Movement in response to President Donald Trump and his fellow Republicans who are redrawing congressional district boundaries to increase their power in Washington. In Missouri, the GOP’s effort comes at the expense of Cleaver’s father, Democratic Rep. Emanuel Cleaver II, and many of his Kansas City constituents who fear a national redistricting scramble will reverse gains Black Americans won two generations ago and leave them without effective representation on Capitol Hill. “If we, the people of […]

California Democrats’ push for redistricting faces a tight legislative deadline

California Democrats are making a partisan push to draw new congressional districts and reshape the state’s U.S. House representation in their favor, but to pull it off, lawmakers returning to the Capitol on Monday face a tight deadline and must still win voters’ approval.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett says Trump continues to ‘chase President Obama’s shadow’ and push ‘white victimization’

Though former President Barack Obama has been out of office for nearly a decade, his name continues to be a fixture among President Donald Trump‘s MAGA world. Last week, the president’s son, Donald Trump Jr., evoked the name of America’s first Black president in a gripe over his father not having a Nobel Peace Prize for his role in striking peace deals from the Middle East to East-Central Africa. “Affirmative action is when Barack Obama gets the Nobel Peace Prize […]

Republican push for proof of citizenship to vote proves a tough sell in the states

President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans have made it a priority this year to require people to prove citizenship before they can register to vote. Turning that aspiration into reality has proved difficult. Trump’s executive order directing a documentary, proof-of-citizenship requirement for federal elections has been blocked by a judge, while federal legislation to accomplish it doesn’t appear to have the votes to pass in the Senate. At the same time, state-level efforts have found little success, even in places where Republicans control the legislature and governor’s office. The most […]
