Although I did not always agree with his politics and opinions, I never felt the need to silence the Superstar, who brought us joy.

The best-known Jamaican-American musician, actor, and human rights activist Belafonte joined the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s. He reportedly became one of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s closest confidants. Over the years he organized demonstrations, raised money, and contributed his personal funds to keep movement activities going.

Me at the Zoo may well be one of the most boring but important headlines ever written online and so it began on YouTube.

Officials who either think they are above the law wear high heels or are too cowardly and fear books, not magazines or assault rifles.

I have at least one gay member in my immediate family that I know of, but that does not mean I do not love them nevertheless. An intelligent voter asked what if Ron DeSantis's kids turn out to be gay? What would he do then?
