She survived a storm. The house didn’t.
For 40 years, Malissa Whitehead called this place home. She fears it could collapse on her at any moment.

This Mississippi Delta Home Could Collapse Before Help Arrives

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

New segregationists’ need to use euphemisms shows the weakness of their intellectual position and the Civil Rights Movement’s moral clarity.
