Few non-activist figures from the civil rights era have latched onto the American consciousness like Emmett Till . In 1955, the 14-year-old Chicagoan was brutally killed by two white men while visiting Mississippi; he had been accused of whistling at one of their wives, Carolyn Bryant , at a grocery store. The U.S. Congress passing the Emmett Till Anti-Lynching Act in March, 67 years after his death. And Hollywood has taken on the task of honoring Emmett’s (and his mother Mamie Till-Mabley’s) memory as well, with two separate projects this year. First was an ABC scripted miniseries titled Women of the Movement that premiered in January, and now there’s the movie Till , debuting at New York Film Festival and in theaters nationwide on October 21. Like the television adaptation, Till attempts to center the perspective of Mamie Till-Mobley, Emmett’s single mother. It was her decision to hold an open-casket funeral for her son so that the press could capture his … [Read more...] about ‘Till’ Does the Best It Can With One of History’s Saddest Stories

GOLDEN TROUT WILDERNESS, Calif. — We clambered loudly up the miserable incline, horses stumbling as their shoes slid on the ladder of rocks that took us up and away from the Kern River. “Devil’s Stairway,” Chelsea McGlyn, the wrangler on this expedition, said over her shoulder, twisting around in the saddle. Was it such a brutal trail when I made my first trip here almost 60 years ago? Memory is too fragile to say definitively. What I can never forget from that day was the cowboy on the fast paint horse who got stuck behind me and had to eat my dust — kicked up by a horse and three mules — until the trail leveled out. Advertisement He paused and introduced himself as Sterling Grant, farmer from the San Joaquin Valley town of Wasco, and invited the 16-year-old wannabe cowboy from Los Angeles to mosey up the river and visit him in the morning. “I’ll be at Funston,” he said, and pulled away at a near trot. The encounter, in 1963, was a fulcrum in my life. The … [Read more...] about As a young man, I traveled the High Sierra by mule. After 59 years, I tried it again

Ever since appearing on a Vogue list of “people, trends, and items that will rule fashion in 2017,” at the end of December, Crocs have reappeared as part of the national fashion debate. (If such a thing exists). The folks at Slate hope that Crocs’ inclusion is nothing but a “funny perversity” not meant to be taken seriously. The Sydney Morning Herald makes sure when discussing the trend to take a stand of its own: “There’s nothing charming about this shoe – they also smell strongly of chemicals.” But just because Crocs appeared on an elite Vogue list – not to mention on the catwalk during London Fashion Week – doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t wear these incredibly comfortable footwear. Truth is – although Slate tries to say Crocs “disappeared from popular discourse around 2008” – Crocs have never gone out of fashion. Crocs are pleasant to wear, not too expensive and endorsed by Mario Batali. If that’s not a winning marketing strategy, I don’t know what is. If you need … [Read more...] about You Don’t Need ‘Fashion Experts’ To Tell You To Wear Crocs

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 42 ZION, Illinois (AP) — A holy miracle happened in Zion 115 years ago. Or so millions of Ahmadi Muslims around the world believe. The Ahmadis view this small-sized city, 40 miles north of Chicago on the shores of Lake Michigan, as a place of special religious significance for their global messianic faith. Their reverence for the community began more than a century ago -- with fighting words, a prayer duel and a prophecy. Zion was founded in 1900 as a Christian theocracy by John Alexander Dowie, an evangelical and early Pentecostal preacher who drew thousands to the city with his faith healing ministry. The Ahmadis believe their founder, Mirza Ghulam … [Read more...] about Two prophets, century-old prayer duel inspire Zion mosque
