The Iowa Congressman's comments stem from a white supremacist story about Vikings of dubious history accuracy that they have used for hundreds of years.

U.S. author Toni Morrison, whose 1987 novel "Beloved" about a runaway slave won a Pulitzer Prize and contributed to a body of work that made her the first black woman to be presented the Nobel Prize in Literature, has died at the age of 88, her publisher said.

When Donald Trump tweeted 'go back' and a crowd chanted 'send her back,' I thought of the boy who integrated my school. His pain still haunts me.

America must remember our shared beginnings, our shared sacrifices, our shared history and, yes, our shared mistakes.

Recent editorials from Mississippi newspapers:

The University of Mississippi had communication issues when they started investigating reports of a photo showing students posing with guns in front of a Emmett Till memorial, the interim chancellor says.

How much does Trump have to do with the ugliness permeating the public square? What we know is that white supremacists consider him one of their own.

Emmett Till's memorial will be bulletproof after outrage over a photo of three gun-toting Ole Miss students posing in front of the sign.

As an American, how do you NOT know who Emmett Till is??

Completely different subjects. War crimes were common on both sides, while it was official policy to suppress homosexuality and transgenderism. Comparing the two is foolish. Remember, the father of Emmett Till was executed for rape and murder of Italian women. https://t.co/OfVxCyR4wv

Currently sleepless despite some morning shit I been dealing with. It reminded me of this Emmett Till movie I recalled was being made but never made any attempt to see or even reconfirm its exist. Too tired (in general) to be potentially disappointed with something like that.
