The Bible’s journey to the Smithsonian began long before the Diggs’ family discovered it in San Bernardino more than three decades ago. In its pages, the family found notes from an enslaved, literate ancestor who documented five generations of births, deaths and marriages. His neat script provided the clues necessary for Denise Diggs and her brother to trace their lineages back to the shores of Africa.
A Black family's Bible ended up in the Smithsonian and helped a California family fill out its genealogy. It's on display in the National Museum of African American History and Culture.
The man who fatally stabbed a 23-year-old Black man in 2017 was sentenced to life in prison Thursday.
Sean Urbanski, 25, apologized in court for killing 23-year-old Richard Collins III at a bus stop in 2017. He told the victim’s parents minutes before learning his sentence, that he would go back and switch places with Collins if he could.
On the night of the May 2017 stabbing, Collins was just three days away from graduating from Bowie State University and was visiting the University of Maryland College Park campus to celebrate. The newly commissioned second lieutenant in the Army was at a bus stop on the university’s campus with two friends, an Asian woman and a white man, at around 3 a.m. when an approaching Urbanski told him “Step left, step left if you know what’s best for you.”
