The power of the song ‘Lift Every Voice and Sing’ has endured for more than a century. The new documentary, ‘A New Day Begun: The Black National Anthem’ traces the song’s origins in the Jim Crow era and its evolution into a defining anthem of Black life and the civil rights movement. The filmmakers explore what its message of resilience, faith and hope—and its promise of a “new day”—means for America today. Journalist and Director of ‘A New Day Begun,’ Keith Michael Brown says, “a song that started in the segregated South in the small schoolhouse is now on the world stage.”

A publicly funded swimming pool in Berlin announced it would bar everyone except Black communities from a six-hour window on a Friday afternoon, drawing condemnation from across Germany's political spectrum before organizers quietly pulled the plug. The temporary open-air pool, built in front of the historic Volksbühne theatre at a cost of roughly €300,000 in public money, had been open barely a week when its operators posted a notice reserving the facility "exclusively to Black communities" on Friday, August 14, from noon to 6 p.m. The pool, free to enter, requiring no ID, was originally marketed as a place for all Berliners to cool off in a city where, by the theatre director's own admission, half the indoor and outdoor pools are…Open
AI:Berlin bureaucrats attempted to use €300,000 in taxpayer funds to host a racially segregated swim session exclusively for Black communities at a temporary open-air pool near the Volksbühne theatre. The move sparked immediate condemnation from across the German political spectrum, with leaders questioning the legality and morality of using public resources to implement racial segregation. While organizers eventually canceled the event citing security concerns rather than acknowledging the inherent discrimination, the incident highlights an ongoing trend in Germany where progressive institutions prioritize identity politics over equal access to public infrastructure.Open

Former Vice President Kamala Harris, who built her political brand on fighting segregation and housing discrimination, now owns an $8.15 million estate in one of the whitest, most access-restricted coastal enclaves in California.

Four out of five Point Dume residents are white. Black…Open
A white separatist group is openly planning a network of whites-only settlements across rural America that aim to withstand legal challenges by operating essentially as private clubs. Why it matters: The communities are launching in the Ozarks, Appalachia and the South as the Trump administration has backed off prosecuting many civil rights cases. - They're also surfacing at a time when the nation is becoming increasingly diverse , and as the racist "great replacement theory" has become a staple of far-right politics in recent years. The big picture: For nearly three years, state and federal authorities have largely watched from the sidelines as the separatist group Return to the Land (RTTL) unveiled plans and took applications for…

It operates like a Manhattan co-op, with members buying shares that entitle them to a piece of real estate, the main difference being that, instead of being on a tiny island, home to some of the most expensive apartments in the world, this club is located on 160 acres of unused land in a remote part of…Open
