Prostate cancer does not affect all men equally. For Black men in America, the disease carries a weight that goes far beyond a medical diagnosis  it reaches into families, reshapes communities and cuts lives short at a rate that demands urgent attention. The numbers are clear and they are hard to sit with: Black men are more than 70% more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer compared to white men, and they are more than twice as likely to die from it. One in six Black men will face this disease at some point in his lifetime. Behind every…

The release of Untold: The Death of Lamar Odom has done more than revisit the highs and lows of one of basketball’s most complicated legacies. It has cracked open a much larger conversation one that extends far beyond celebrity gossip and into the living rooms of everyday women who have, at some point, loved someone who was slowly unraveling. At the center of that conversation is Khloé Kardashian, whose loyalty to Odom during the darkest years of his life has long been both admired and dissected by the public. The documentary paints a vivid picture of just how consuming that…

Not every film below is a traditional Easter movie in the strictest sense, but each one connects to the spirit of the holiday in some way  through religion, springtime themes or a generous amount of barnyard animals. Here are 11 Easter movies currently streaming on Netflix in…

For millions of American workers, a pay increase is arriving this year just not one that feels like it. New data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that non-supervisory workers have seen average hourly wages rise by 3.4% over the past year, the slowest pace of wage growth since 2021. That is a meaningful step down from the roughly 4% annual gains workers were seeing over the previous two years, and the timing could not be more difficult. The slowdown is landing just as a fresh wave of cost pressures is building across the economy, from gas stations and…

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed legislation requiring proof of citizenship for voters, a move that has immediately drawn criticism from civil rights groups, election officials and legal advocates who warn the law could push eligible voters off the rolls particularly in Black and Brown communities that have historically faced the highest barriers to political participation. The law, which makes Florida the third state this year to adopt a version of the SAVE Act following South Dakota and Utah, requires election officials to verify citizenship status after a voter registers. That process involves cross-checking voter registrations against state and federal…

The South Carolina Gamecocks punched their ticket to the National Championship game with a commanding 14-point victory over the UConn Huskies in their sixth consecutive Final Four appearance a run that further cements coach Dawn Staley’s place among the elite figures in college basketball. But what should have been a clean celebration of an impressive team performance quickly gave way to a postgame dispute that put the spotlight squarely on UConn head coach Geno Auriemma. Auriemma, a Hall of Fame coach with decades of experience, confronted Staley after the game, alleging that she had failed to shake his hand at…

The average price of gas in the United States has climbed to $4 per gallon a threshold not crossed since 2022 and the numbers vary sharply depending on where you live. In Arizona, prices have pushed as high as $4.99 per gallon, while California has seen averages creep toward $6. Those figures are not just inconvenient they are adding up fast for families already stretched thin by broader inflation pressures.…

Rev. Dr. Wanda Bynum Duckett is not slowing down. She is speeding up and she is doing it with a rhythm that sounds less like a traditional Sunday sermon and more like a spoken word set at a packed poetry venue. Duckett, an ordained United Methodist minister with graduate degrees from St. Mary’s Seminary in Baltimore and Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, D.C., spent years working within the structures of institutional religion. She served as superintendent of the United Methodist Church’s former Baltimore Metropolitan District for eight years a role that placed her among the more prominent voices in her…

Michael Jackson remains one of the most celebrated entertainers in history. His influence on music, dance and popular culture is undeniable and has endured well past his death in June 2009.

What follows is a close look at the key moments in a timeline that has…
