The Moment Minneapolis Heard Justice
Photo: Alex Kent Minneapolis was still erecting barricades outside the courthouse where Derek Chauvin was being tried when the news came: There was a verdict. After deliberating for just ten hours after absorbing three weeks of grueling details about George Floyd’s death , the jury told the judge it was done — the jurors had not even asked him a question. Their speed seemed to surprise everyone, such as the hundreds of demonstrators who had already gathered outside the Hennepin County Government Center , where the trial was conducted. The crowd was waiting on edge, making speeches and issuing chants. Then someone said the judge was about to read the verdict and the crowd went completely quiet. Photo: Jacquelyn Martin/AP One woman held her phone out, cupping its tiny speaker in her hand, with people gathering around to hear a livestream of the court. At 4:06 p.m., the judge began: “Members of the jury, I will now read the verdicts as they will … [Read more...] about The Moment Minneapolis Heard Justice

Cuppa Racism? Museum Targets Jane Austen’s Tea Drinking in BLM Inspired Race Review
Pride and Prejudice author Jane Austen’s affinity for drinking tea will be examined in a Black Lives Matter-style “historical interrogation” at a museum honouring the famed writer. Austen’s cottage in the Hampshire village in Chawton, which has since been converted into one of the more popular museums dedicated to her, will feature displays on “Regency-era colonialism”, including the use of sugar in tea, the director said.
