For members of the African American community, women, Latinos, LGBTQ, and even some marginalized white men, the buyer’s remorse has been swift and the sense of betrayal gut-wrenching.

President Donald Trump wasted no time in using his first week back in the White House to enact policies that critics have called overtly racist, discriminatory, and regressive among the most controversial actions: mass deportations, a push to end birthright citizenship, and the revocation of key worker protections for minorities, women, and other marginalized groups.

The start of the year has been gruesome for Los Angeles County residents as wildfires ravaged communities and burned 14,000 acres of land. The catastrophic fires left many homeless, in shock, distraught, and desperate to get their lives back on track. Some fire victims are still waiting for emergency government assistance to aid in rebuilding their lives. One of the neighborhood communities destroyed by the wildfire is Altadena.
Altadena’s history can be viewed as progressive for Black homeowners over time, as redlining played a major part in the evolving racial change of the city.

Barry Michael Cooper, who penned the “Harlem Trilogy” of “New Jack City,” “Sugar Hill,” and “Above The Rim,” died in his Baltimore home at 66 last Wednesday. No cause of death was given. Cooper aspired to be a writer in high school. Nurtured by fertile art, music, and political activism that were staples of postwar Harlem and New York in general, he became a voracious reader who was encouraged by a series of English teachers and other mentors who motivated him to step out of his comfort zone.

The Jim Crow and segregation era is a period where the truth is murky and overlooked for the ‘betterment of society.’ In comparison, American history acknowledges the efforts and achievements of figures like MLK, Malcolm X, Rosa Parks, and Maya Angelou. Other moments in history did not have a happy ending or a justifiable means to an end. Events like the Tulsa Massacre, Plowing of Seneca Village, Lake Lanier, and Sugar Hill uncover a dark and disgusting part of that era. With the release of Nickel Boys, another unveiling of dark history has seen the light.
