"Black culture has never been confined to one screen, and neither should the brands that want to show up authentically for our audience. This partnership with OTTera means that for the first time, a brand can walk into BMG and leave with a campaign that reaches Black America from their morning scroll to their living room couch. That is a first in Black media, and we built it," said Morgan DeBaun, CEO.

Carter was the target of racist abuse as England won Euro 2025, and the 28-year-old has been described by Football Black List organisers as 'a powerful advocate for cultural change and accountability'.

Kanya King stated, 'Black music shapes what we listen to, how we speak, how we dress, how we tell our stories and I guess it's defined as Britain's cultural identity but structurally and institutionally is still often treated as m.'

Howard University's sports have been a punchline or worse my whole life, and since before I was even around, and that's a mighty long time. I learned too much about Howard's athletic awfulness when I covered D.C. sports for Washington City Paper beginning in the 1990s. My education started when I wrote about the school's 1996 basketball team, which was in the middle of the worst losing streak in the NCAA at the time.

For the purposes of the BFOA, and what its main agenda and the goal is, there are people that are in the financial and otherwise, and anything that we can do to contribute to giving a helping hand to them is something we should not hesitate to do.

Many of these posters are the only surviving proof of certain shows, with no recordings of plays, and certain films, having been lost over time. They offer a history of Black Americans trying to counter harmful stereotypes and provide vital and humanizing contributions to a growing Black culture.

Ratcliffe's language certainly doesn't help, and players have been calling this out for a long time. One thing is clear: they've been showing the type of leadership that those who have more power in the game and society should follow. Calling out discrimination is a courageous move, and should never be taken for granted.

Black History Month is a time to acknowledge and celebrate the achievements and courageous acts of people of African descent in the United States and around the world. This year, Black History month celebrates its 100th anniversary. And yet, Black History Month has failed to fully acknowledge or celebrate the contributions of Black LGBTQ+ people. Just as Pride Month remains overwhelmingly white in its representation, Black History Month continues to be deeply homophobic in its omissions.

If you know anything about the basic origins of Black History Month then you know that we weren't given' anything. The question of who owns and authorizes Black History Month holds particular relevance now, in its centennial year, and at a time when efforts to celebrate, preserve, and acknowledge Black people's past in this country are under attack.

You could feel the love tonight. I'm so glad we came here. I just can't explain it more than I was just so filled up with joy. It was amazing.

One year ago this month, Howard University in Washington DC landed the coveted title of an R1 research university - the highest US research designation conferred by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education. The achievement - attained when a university spends at least US$50 million on research and awards at least 70 research doctoral degrees each year - is making Howard attractive to funders, faculty members and students, says its interim president, Wayne Frederick.

To be Black in the U.S. has such an expansive meaning that traces back to Europeans deciding who got to be "white." While some people, like the Italians and Irish, earned their way into "white-ness," those with even a drop of Black in their heritage were relegated to the lower rungs of the racial ladder.

"Do you know what today is? It's premiere day," Dillihay told ESPN.

After I won it, I thought there was going to be, like, a script truck showing up outside my front door.

U.S. president Donald Trump shared a racist video on his Truth Social account in which former American president and first lady Barack and Michelle Obama were depicted as apes. I was unsurprised, yet nonetheless disgusted. U.S. senator Jon Ossoff also found the video unacceptable. He said during a rally in Atlanta that Donald Trump was "posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."

Hoops, Hopes & Dreams tells the story of how Dr. King used basketball to connect with young people and organize communities during moments of protest.
