'Say Her Name:' Saints to lead coalition on intersecting impacts of racism, sexism on Black women
The New Orleans Saints will use the 2020 season to uplift the voices and experiences of Black women through a season-long series focused on the intersections of being a Black woman in America, the team announced Friday.

Hunt was a champion of Black rights during the Civil Rights era of the 1960s.

Kenosha shooting strains tie between Black residents, police
Until the police shooting of Jacob Blake, the bedroom community of Kenosha had been largely untouched by the level of demonstrations that were seen in nearby Milwaukee and Chicago after the death of George Floyd. Like other places in America, Kenosha's Black residents saw inequality in the way police treated them. But there had been nothing like the shooting that left Blake, who is Black, paralyzed.
