"Till (2022), directed by Chinonye Chukwu, opens with a happy driving scene of a mother and her young teenage child, smiling and singing together in August 1955. ...
Even this one minute introductory scene is hard to watch because the true story of Emmett Till is a part of history, and is fairly well known. The dramatic loss is present in each heartbeat they share."

"Some things keep you up at night.
This newsletter topic is one of the things that makes me restless.
I often wonder about Dean Ablakwa, a man I have never met, but one I am seriously concerned about.

"Gods and Monsters.
Monsters don’t always look like the dream image - or should I say nightmare, that we conjure up for ourselves. They do not usually have warning signs tattooed on their foreheads. Neither do angels always glide down from heaven with translucent wings.
They all look like you and me. Human."

"Riches is a family drama on ITV (& Prime) that I almost missed.
It is based around the fallout around the legacy of the multi-million pound Black hair and beauty business - Flair and Glory following the death of the CEO and family patriarch.
If you want secrets and lies, greed and jealousy all linked to big business, this drama is for you. If you liked Succession, you will probably like this series."

@kennwhite I wrote an article about this when the tweet/delete fiasco occurred in 2018.
"Friday 9th February 2018. HM Treasury on Twitter: “Here’s today’s surprising #FridayFact. Millions of you helped to end the slave trade through your taxes.” @hmtreasury"
My parents, my siblings and I effectively paid the enslavers of our ancestors for being human traffickers: we had no choice. It's not a celebratory FridayFact for me.

"I used to be afraid of therapy.
I now know why.
Therapy changes you. Well, it changed me. And it was the change I was hoping for, it was the change I was looking for but didn’t know how to access.I was afraid of myself really.
I was afraid of my thoughts, my dreams, my hidden traumas.
So I hid them even more. Until it was a make or break time."https://marjoriemorgan.substack.com/p/the-examined-life-how-we-lose-and

"I wanted to stay at home with my family, but I couldn’t. I was told I was fortunate, but it didn’t feel like that.
I’m sorry, I didn’t introduce myself. As part of my formal education at the school I’m told I have to do that with new people...
Good day to you, I’m John. John Gidman, I’m eleven years old, and before I came here I used to live with my family in a small cottage near the big mill in Kirkby."

"Art is for everyone, and is often used as a means of equalising emotional experiences.
Sharing high and low times in art form is a tool utilised by people throughout the world in all ages of our existence.
Visual art has the ability to connect with the emotional core of humanity because it is an accessible form of storytelling."

"For some reason, maybe a lack of personal interaction outside of my home in the past few months, I've taken to watching reality TV of an evening when I've been unable to read any more.
This feels like I should be in a confessional box as I say this - although I'm not a Catholic, I do have a great deal of Protestant guilt ingrained into my DNA."

"Before I left Twitter (I no longer post there, but still have my locked account), I noticed that there was more and more anti-Black racism from other posters; particularly of interest to me was the kickback against Black people in British adverts.
I, too, had noticed the increase in the Black presence in the commercial breaks starting in the middle of 2020 - a response to #BlackLivesMatter, maybe?"

'Art is an open doorway used to recall the lasting impact of war without celebrating the brutality, pain and loss of combat.'
