When my mom died I found this Letter to the Editor among her possessions. She’s calling out John Klein, the Town Supervisor in Smithtown LI, for his racist housing policies. I think it’s from the 1970s. It inspires me to name names, and call out BS. Don’t live afraid.

I wonder why. No Real Sports. No 60 Minutes Sports. No OTL. E60 sporadic. SI and USA Today and Wa Po shells of themselves. Serious sports journalism is expensive and takes a certain skill set. Leagues in $$$$ business with networks and streamers. We’re in some very dark days.

Outrageous.

Dr. Justin Ryder, a pediatric surgeon and expert at Northwestern, was booted from a conference for sharing an article on federal cuts to biomedical research.

This is the impact of Trump's administration.

Journalist Katie Phang's lawsuit against Todd Blanche and the Justice department over the withholding of Epstein files, may force Todd to comply in releasing the remaining files. Watch her do it. She is fearless.

This is a devastating interview.

Scott Pelley tells the NYT that Bari Weiss directly put a “thumb on the scale” for Trump over the killing of Renee Good.

Here’s his explanation of exactly what happened.

Jacqueline Woodson profoundly influenced young adult and children's literature. With over forty books and numerous prestigious awards, she stands as a literary icon.

She's a "New York Times" bestselling author who sold 5 million books worldwide.

She reimagined literature for varied audiences. As a Black and queer woman, her presence also gave her community a voice and a face that had been missing.

Her success changed the industry.

Join me with Jacqueline Woodson on this episode of SHE WAS FIRST on @PBS
