Anti-Black violence increases poor mental health days for Black Americans, study finds

SALT LAKE CITY When George Floyd was murdered in May 2020 by former Minneapolis police office Derek Chauvin, the impact of the tragedy was felt across the country. For Courtney Kelly, a Utah rapper, it felt deeply personal and she struggled to focus that week; however, she noticed her white peers didn t really feel the same way. I do feel sometimes that Utah kind of lives in a bubble, she explained. Or they really don t kind of grasp what is going on outside in the world. Like for example, when the Black Lives Matter protests were initially happening and then the aftermath of George Floyd s murder, I just felt like people were very out of touch or they didn t even know like that s something that was happening until it kind of reached a boiling point here with protests and riots in Salt Lake.

The Forgotten Black Panthers | The New Republic

The Black Panther Party Has Never Been More Popular. But Actual Black Panthers Have Been Forgotten. While the Panthers have become a staple of pop culture, former members of the group remain invisible. Warner Bros. Judas and the Black Messiah, about the death of Black Panther leader Fred Hampton, has been nominated for an Oscar for Best Picture. On October 7, 2020, Jalil Muntaqim exited the Sullivan Correctional Facility in upstate New York a free man. A member of the Black Panther Party and its more militant, clandestine offshoot, the Black Liberation Army, Muntaqim was 19 years old at the time of his 1971 arrest, which was followed by his conviction three years later for the murder of two NYPD police officers, Waverly Jones and Joseph Piagentini. After nearly a half-century behind bars and over a dozen parole requests, Muntaqim’s parole was approved last September, one month before his sixty-ninth birthday.

JONAH RASKIN : POETS | Tongo Eisen-Martin: A poet with genocide on his mind

Poet Tongo Eisen-Martin, 2019. Still from YouTube, Wikimedia Commons By Jonah Raskin | SONOMA COUNTY, Calif. English Department purists might complain that Tongo Eisen-Martin doesn’t write “real” poems, that is poems about birds and flowers, and thus shouldn’t be featured this year during National Poetry Month, which as always falls in April. Eisen-Martin’s first book, someone’s dead already, was published by Bootstrap Press. His second, Heaven Is All Goodbyes ($11.17) was published by City Lights in its venerable Pocket Poets Series. Tongo’s brother Biko, an artist and an actor, designed the cover. The first poem in the volume is titled, “Faceless.” The last is titled “The Oldest Then the Youngest,” and begins, “Grandmother, why don’t you ever talk about your children who the first world murdered?” The grandmother replies, “Because, son, I haven’t run out of knife handles.”
