Due to the COVID-19, or novel coronavirus, pandemic, many of our summer travel plans have been put on hold as cities and countries around the world stay under quarantine.
Luckily for travel enthusiasts, this travel expert is offering viewers an opportunity to travel around the world with him with his new PBS series.
I was born with a curiosity about the world and would study maps and read about different countries, and my parents, other family members, and other adults in my community stoked that curiosity as I was growing up,” said White in an interview with BLACK ENTERPRISE.
Since then, White has traveled to over 70 countries using his creative storytelling talents to help others learn about different cultures and share the experiences of the people he meets along the way.
The travel docu-series follows as White visits his friends, both old and new, in eight exciting destinations such as São Paulo, Namibia, and Mumbai.
(ThyBlackMan.com) Walter Williams loved teaching. Unlike too many other teachers today, he made it a point never to impose his opinions on his students. Those who read his syndicated newspaper columns know that he expressed his opinions boldly and unequivocally there. But not in the classroom. Walter once said he hoped that, on the day […]
THE trial of MDC Alliance activists Netsai Marova and Cecilia Chimbiri failed to kick-off yesterday after they requested for a stay of trial pending a High Court determination on their application to challenge separation of trial. By MIRIAM MANGWAYA Chimbiri and Marova were jointly charged with Harare West MP Joanah Mamombe on allegations of faking abduction. But last month, the State successfully applied for separation of trial of the two from Mamombe, who has a mental ailment. Magistrate Bianca Makwande ruled that Mamombe should be separated from her co-accused since the doctors’ reports on her mental health status were not specific about the date that she would be fit to stand trial. The trio, through its lawyers Alec Muchadehama and Jeremiah Bhamu, filed an application for review of Makwande’s ruling at the High Court. The matter was postponed to December 17, 2020 for possible trial, if the High Court determination on their application would be out on that day. The State, led by prosecutor Amos Reza, however, submitted before the court that if Marova and Chimbiri were to be tried separately, Mamombe should not follow their proceedings. l Follow Miriam on Twitter @FloMangwaya
WARRIORS and Tanzanian side Azam FC striker Prince Dube expects to be sidelined for up to two months ahead of surgery in South Africa having suffered a hand injury. BY FORTUNE MBELE Dube fractured his left hand ulnar bone in the 1-0 defeat to Young Africans last Wednesday when he had only played 15 minutes. The former Highlanders striker left Tanzania for South Africa on Sunday where he is under the care of specialist surgeon Robert Nicolas at the Vincent Pallotti Hospital in Cape Town. Speaking from South Africa yesterday, Dube, who will be operated on tomorrow, said the orthopaedic surgeon told him that he would be out of action for six to eight weeks. “I’m undergoing surgery on Thursday (tomorrow). I flew into South Africa on Sunday and the doctor has said I will be out of action for anything between six to eight weeks. I’m just hoping the operation will be successful. I will be fine,” Dube said. Azam confirmed Dube’s injury last week and that he would be treated in South Africa at Vincent Pallotti Hospital where they take all their players who need specialist attention. On arrival in Tanzania in August, Dube announced his presence in the Vodacom Premier League with a bang and has so far scored six goals in 13 matches with Azam perched on position two on the log table with 26 points, five behind Young Africans. The striker has been in top form for his club after hitting the ground running following his move from Highlanders. A few weeks ago, he came from the bench to salvage a crucial point for the Warriors against Algeria at the National Sports Stadium in a Group H Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) - The UN chief warned yesterday that the social and economic impact of COVID-19 'is enormous and growing' and said it's foolish to believe a vaccine can undo damage from the global pandemic that will last for years or even decades.
South Africa has recorded 139 more Covid-19-related deaths, bringing the recorded death toll to 22 206.
No matter how many languages I speak, how many countries I’ve been to, how many degrees I have, how many classes I’ve taught, how many non-black friends I have, I am part of the same pariah class as you, demonized because of my skin color and feared because of my potential – for violence as well as greatness.
Be it the barefaced happiness at George Zimmerman’s acquittal, the unmitigated hatred for President Obama, the unyielding desire to use the ugliest racial slur in the English language because “[we] say it all the time,” the grotesquely ironic opinion that black Americans are the most racist group in the country, the antagonizing law enforcement activities like “stop-and-frisk” and “random secondary screening,” the gutting of the Voting Rights Act, the inhumane disparities in prison sentencing, or the mass closing of public schools in the neediest neighborhoods, we are reminded incessantly of our lowly place in American society by society itself.
Mind you, family, the United States isn’t the only place black folks are catching hell.
We must have the option to participate in our own society as full-fledged members or be part of the creation of a society that will not hinder us from personal greatness.
Previous generations fought for our right to be first-class citizens of the United States, a right that, just a few days ago, was denied yet again for a black youth born in this country.
Liberal Party member Piedad Cordoba is Colombia’s most controversial politician.
Her uncle was influential Partido Liberal representative Diego Luis Cardona, known for his contribution to the creation of Chocó Department, as a political and administrative entity.
Her successful performance allowed her to be elected into more influential offices, first being Medellin councilwoman in 1989, and then securing office at the Antioquia Departmental Assembly.
Alvaro Uribe – and other right-wing politicians’ – fierce opposition to Cordoba’s ideas and actions has led to many attempts to challenge Cordoba’s reputation.
This movement is committed to the Colombian peace process and was an active promoter and participant of the march for peace in April of 2013.
