Former South Carolina Gov. and 2024 Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley is drawing scrutiny for failing to say slavery was the cause of the Civil War when asked by a voter on Wednesday. She’s trying to clean up the mess now, but Haley’s latest comments reflect her longstanding political approach.
“I think the cause of the Civil War was basically how government was going to run,” said Haley, the former U.N. ambassador, at a New Hampshire town hall. “The freedoms and what people could and couldn’t do.

When directors Ken Burns, Lynn Novick and Sarah Botstein began work on The U.S. and the Holocaust around 2015, some of the events the three-part historical documentary series would depict hadn’t even happened yet.
Initially, the series was inspired by questions viewers had for filmmakers including Burns after the release of The War (2007) and The Roosevelts: An Intimate History (2014), as well as an invitation by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum to work on a companion film to their exhibition, “Americans and the Holocaust.” The idea was to ask, what did the U.S. know about the Holocaust and when, and what should the U.S. have done about it? But as Burns, Novick and Botstein got down to work answering those questions over the course of the next seven years, their story began to resonate loudly with current events. Ultimately, before the series premiered on Sept.

On the land and in the water, the whispers of a people, their descendants, and their hereafter echoes, from the first words spoken when enslaved Africans arrived on the shores of America to their continued cries throughout the Civil War. And when, on the eve of January 12, 1865, twenty Black ministers met with General William Tecumseh Sherman in Savannah, Georgia to plot out the reconstructive future of newly freed Black folks, the promise of forty acres and a mule seemed to guarantee prosperity, and perhaps some sort of answer.
And yet, the tragedy of that night is a dream that was deferred. The formerly enslaved would ultimately gain land: parcels not given to them, but purchased in the decades following the Civil War. Amid the arched mossy trees,...

On Thursday, lawmakers passed two gun bills aimed at strengthening laws on background checks. But neither is expected to get past the Senate, where they will need 60 votes to get to the president to sign.
The first bill, called The Bipartisan Background Checks Act (H.R. 8) would require universal background checks on all commercial gun sales. It passed by a 227-203 vote and had Republican support and co-sponsors.
The other bill would close the “Charleston loophole” by extending the time allotted for background checks. The loophole allowed Dylann Roof to...

2021’s Senator Tom Cotton must be really upset with 2020 Senator Tom Cotton.
For days now, the Republican from Arkansas has been whining to anyone who will listen about “how crazy some of the Democratic ideas” made it into the Covid-19 relief package. Specifically, Cotton has taken issue with the possibility that some prisoners, who’ve recently filed taxes, might actually receive a check.
But what Cotton is leaving out in his complaint is his utter hypocrisy. The senator didn’t just vote for stimulus checks for prisoners once, he did...

Jeremy O. Harris knows exactly how big his plans are: “I think for me to call myself ambitious would be an understatement,” he acknowledged on a recent call from Rome.
But the playwright, performer, producer and budding director is building the career to back it up. His Broadway buzzmagnet “Slave Play” earned a whopping 12 Tony nominations, breaking a record set by “Angels in America,” and he’s expanded into writing for film (“Zola”) and TV (“Euphoria”). He also turned heads when he convinced HBO, as part of his overall deal with the network, to give him a discretionary fund to produce new, experimental stage work. During the pandemic, he’s used that money to back two digital/theater hybrid productions, “Circle Jerk” and “Heroes of the Fourth Turning,” that have gotten Theater Twitter talking in recent months.

Trevor Noah examined the police shooting of Jacob Blake — as well as the non-violent arrest of a gunman accused of shooting protesters in Kenosha, Wisconsin — on Wednesday’s The Daily Show.
“Why do some people get shot seven times in the back, while other people are treated like human beings and reasoned with and taken into custody with no bullets in their bodies?” Noah asked. “How come Jacob Blake was seen as a deadly threat for a theoretical gun that he might have and might try to commit a crime with,...

If the Republican Party’s who-cares-if-grandma-dies response to the coronavirus hasn’t convinced you that the “pro-life” label is absurd when applied to the GOP, then maybe this will: This morning, President Donald Trump’s government executed the first federal prisoner in 17 years. And it did so with the blessing of the Supreme Court, which is paving the way for more and more executions.
Since 2003, the federal government has had a de facto moratorium on the death penalty. Even though some federal convicts have been sentenced to death during this time (such as Dylann Roof,...

Symbols of the Confederacy are coming down across America — but not on The Dukes of Hazzard.
The stars of the ’80s hit are speaking out in defense of their show and its iconic car the General Lee, which famously had a Confederate flag emblazoned on its roof, as Black Lives Matter activists call for Confederate flags and statues to be removed nationwide. “I have never had an African American come up to me and have any problem with it whatsoever,” John Schneider, who played Bo Duke on the CBS series, tells The Hollywood Reporter. “The whole politically correct generation has gotten way out of hand.

Netflix has released a 27-minute set from Dave Chappelle on their comedy YouTube channel, Netflix Is a Joke. The set is titled 8:46, named after the amount of time (eight minutes and 46 seconds) that former Minneapolis Police Department officer Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s neck before Floyd died.
Chappelle performed his set on June 6th at an event near his home in Yellow Springs, Ohio, to a crowd that followed coronavirus-imposed social distancing guidelines, including face masks, temperature checks and pairs of seats placed six feet apart on a grassy lawn.

On Friday, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations under President Donald Trump, Nikki Haley, spoke to Blaze TV’s Glenn Beck where she said that “people saw” the Confederate flag “as service, and sacrifice, and heritage” before white supremacist Dylann Roof “hijacked” it when he killed nine black people at the Emanuel African Methodist Church in South Carolina in 2015.

On June 17, 2015, a stranger walked into Emanuel Ame church and found a Bible study in progress. They invited him to join them, but instead, Dylann Roof opened fire, killing nine Black parishioners in the process. Written and directed by Brian Ivie, the documentary “Emanuel” revisits that terrible day with the families of those who were taken so soon, so violently.
The film introduces the audience to Nadine as she’s preparing a sweet-potato pie and reminiscing about her mother, who was one of the nine members of the church not to return home that night. Next is Anthony, a pastor whose wife was also killed in the massacre. Chris, a baseball player on the rise, remembers his mother. More faces, more stories roll in, and the enormity of the losses feel bigger and bigger. It wasn’t just the victims and their immediate families who were affected, but their entire community as well.

As recently as a few years ago, the bowl cut was primarily known as an unfashionable hairstyle popular among toddlers whose parents cut their hair, and 1990s child stars. Over the past few years, however, the bowl cut has gone from shorthand for male uncoolness to a chilling symbol of racism and extremist violence, according to a recent report from the Anti-Defamation League.

Attorney General William Barr has ordered the Bureau of Prisons to schedule executions for five federal inmates in the next six months, the first time in more than 16 years that the federal government will use capital punishment. The Department of Justice announced Barr’s order in a statement on Thursday.
“Under Administrations of both parties, the Department of Justice has sought the death penalty against the worst criminals, including these five murderers, each of whom was convicted by a jury of his peers after a full and fair proceeding,” Barr said.

Mass shootings continue to be a shameful stain on contemporary American history. They strike at such a frequent rate that the way they occupy news cycles before losing the public’s short-spanned attention has become appallingly routine. With his somber documentary “Emanuel,” released by Fathom Events in theaters for two nights only (June 17 and 19), director Brian Ivie (“The Drop Box”) aspires to focus on something rare and enduring that unfolded in the aftermath of one such unspeakable tragedy. It was a collective act of defiance that aimed to heal a wounded community.
That community includes a congregation in Charleston’s historic Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, who lost nine — all black lives that vastly mattered — to a gun massacre in their holy house of worship exactly four years ago. Executive produced by Viola Davis and Stephen Curry among others, “Emanuel” turns the nation’s eye on the victims’ loved ones,...

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam held his blackface-meets-kkk med school yearbook photo press conference on Saturday as Ivy League historians took questions about PBS’s four-hour Reconstruction: America After the Civil War at TCA.
A TV critic, asked if Northam’s med school yearbook photo and his refusal to resign are “still part of the anti-Reconstruction narrative.”
“Racism works on subliminal levels; it works on conscious levels, like every other ‘ism,” responded David Blight, author and Yale University history professor.
“I don’t see how [Northam] has any credibility left, because he chose to put it there, and it wasn’t a high school prank. It was a medical school graduation.”
Blight called Northam’s conundrum “a public trust issue,” noting that he holds a public office, adding, “I don’t see how he can stay.”

Murder can be a message, and the men who lynched Emmett Till in 1955 surely sought to communicate through his broken and bloated flesh. The 14-year-old boy falsely accused of sexually harassing Carolyn Bryant in Money, Mississippi, instantly became both a victim and a lesson. Had his killers wanted to merely scare him, they could have. No, Emmett was beaten, shot, then tied to a cotton gin fan and set down in the Tallahatchie River to tell every black person in the surrounding area – and perhaps the entire United States – that our lives were meaningless,...

Inside her character’s recently deceased mother’s apartment, Michelle Pfeiffer is barely visible. The room is lit by a single lamp; the light that does find her gives the contours of her face a dim highlight that is as beautiful as it is bleak. In a wide shot, with the camera a good distance from Pfeiffer and the lamp, the same light provides hints of old-style wood panelling and furnishings.
These dark images define “Where Is Kyra,” a moody thriller directed by Andrew Dosunmu, perfectly capture the interior life of Kyra (Pfeiffer) who can’t find work or cash her mother’s checks after nursing her up until to the very moment of her death.
