Ledell Lee, a Black man executed in 2017 for the murder of a white woman, is part of a larger issue that we rarely discuss. Too many Black men face false accusations without true redemption or justice.

The old adage “do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life” is an unattainable dream for most people. To Dan Christina, chief horticulturist at Green Animals Topiary Garden in Portsmouth, it’s a reality.
“For a long time, I haven’t really thought of this as work,” he says. “I’m getting to create, I’m getting to cultivate a wide variety of plants and life. And that’s pretty exciting.”

He went on to serve as the assistant groundskeeper at Blithewold in Bristol for 10 years before settling in at Green Animals six years ago.

On the advice of the International Olympic Committee s (IOC) Athletes Commission, the IOC Executive Board last week resolved to continue to censor athletes who participate in peaceful protest at the Olympic Games, especially in the most powerful spaces of the podium and the arena. Patronisingly, the censorship is now coupled with scripting, with the IOC endorsing the use of the words, peace, respect, solidarity, inclusion and equality.
In the words of Bernice King, chief executive of the Martin Luther King Center for Nonviolent Social Change, Inclusion does not = equity. Diversity does not = justice. Tolerance does not = love. Silence does not = peace.
