Here s what s new about Obama story told in HBO documentary

Print There’s no shortage of films and TV series covering Barack and Michelle Obama’s lives and legacy, from Netflix’s “Becoming,” a documentary portrait of the former first lady released by the pair’s own production company, Higher Ground to the scripted romance “Southside With You” and the “Frontline” political biography of the 44th president, “Dreams of Obama.” So when HBO announced its three-part series “Obama: In Pursuit of a More Perfect Union,” it was hard to imagine what new material or insights, if any, it had to offer. And at the outset, the first installment, which premieres Tuesday, is deceptive. It feels like another ode to a beloved president and a favored subject among filmmakers. He is, after all, an irresistible subject: a Black man with a Muslim name who won election to the White House, twice, in a nation that has yet to deal with its racist past and present. He’s a font of eloquent speeches and quick-witted jokes, and his life

Inside Chicago s New Black Entrepreneurial Renaissance

Kathryn Finney. In her Pulitzer Prize-winning book on the great American migration, The Warmth of Other Suns, Isabella Wilkerson tells the story of Ida Mae Gladney, who uprooted her life from Mississippi to Chicago, drawn by the idea of economic mobility and safety that the Promised Land had to offer. In the early 20th century, Chicago offered opportunities for paying jobs and a growing Black middle class. Though the city was segregated and brutalized by policies redlining Black neighborhoods, it offered relief from the threat of lynching. Even in the face of economic and racial barriers, Ida Mae remained optimistic and built a life for herself and her family.

Future-Proofing Cities Against Climate Change

As Florida is already experiencing climate disruption, Miami has recently revealed its plan to alleviate the risk of flooding and fortify the coastline against increasingly frequent and stronger storm surges. Among the measures detailed in the 40-year plan are new seawalls and breakwaters, creating wetland ecosystems, as well as elevated construction. The Netherlands, with more than 25% of land below sea level, has amassed extensive experience in creating defences, having developed a 3.700km network of dams and seawalls. Moreover, the city of Rotterdam has adopted a Climate Change Adaptation Strategy, which integrates flood control into the urban design with the help of squares that retain water during peak rainfall, among other measures. In China, where most large cities are affected by flooding, authorities are implementing a sponge city strategy, which requires 80% of urban land to absorb or reuse 70% of stormwater.
