    The Press, the Presidency and the Politics of Exclusion (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    When we talk about the First Amendment and the freedom of the press, African Americans know what it means to be shut out. Long before President Donald Trump decided to bar CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House, Black journalists were being denied access to the nation's most important institutions. They were excluded from newsrooms, press galleries and presidential press conferences. And rather than accept silence, Black journalists and Black communities built their own newspapers, wire s

    Labor Day Was More Than a Holiday (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Labor Day has come and gone. The parades are over, and the mattress sales have ended. The holiday that symbolizes the end of summer has passed, and yet the meaning of the day burns brightly against the backdrop of my surroundings. In fact, if I’m honest, it’s a full-fledged fire that has me totally frustrated. Labor Day is supposed to be a moment to recognize the contributions of working people and the struggles that made many of the protections we take for granted possible. Yet this year, I fou

    I Feared For My Life: Unfairly Complicated (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The term “intersectionality” is a gift from the academic gods. It opens up a lane for us to understand how race, gender, class, history, power, and the law can collide, and how those intersections can produce very different experiences for people who are supposedly protected by the very same rights. Now that I've said it that way, let me say it differently for the folks in the back. When it comes to some laws and some rights, we know Black folks get handled differently. We know it because histor

    When Dark Folks Don’t Get the Same Light (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    In Milwaukee, we have a habit of calling folks in Chicago and Gary our “cousins.” It’s one of those jokes that makes sense because, in many ways, we really are connected. Aside from geography, we share family, culture, migration, music, industrial history and, unfortunately, some of the same struggles. So when our kinfolk in Gary, Indiana, are sitting in the dark for days, kinfolk in “the Mil” need to help shed some light on the matter. Not long ago, Milwaukee residents were without electricity

    When a Badge Becomes a Shield for Violence (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Let’s be honest. When you watch the video of Arkansas State Police Trooper Moisses Arellano throwing Alisa Hackett to the ground and punching her in the face, it is hard to look away. And it is even harder to understand. Hackett was 18 years old. The encounter began as a traffic stop. Whatever happened before that moment, whatever mistakes she may have made, whatever instructions she may or may not have followed, there is still a basic question that deserves an answer: Why was the interaction ha
