    THE OKLAHOMA EAGLE — The 1993 movie “What’s Love Got to Do with It” portrayed the relationship between Ike and Tina Turner as abusive before their breakup. Ike was also said to victimize Tina, as she shared in a 2018 interview with Oprah Winfrey. But Deon Releford-Lee, the actor who plays Ike in the Broadway musical, says there is more to Ike’s story than is told on screen. In preparing for the part, the Broadway actor searched for the triggers that made Ike who he was known to be.   The post The TINA TURNER Musical Reveals Trials and Triumphs first appeared on BlackPressUSA.

  • OP-ED: To Fear a Protest: Columbia University’s Forceful Response to Peaceful and Legitimate Protest

    NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS — True leaders come to the table prepared for discourse; cowards find something to hide behind.

What [Columbia University president Namet] Shafik fails to understand is that silencing protest through force only validates the need for protest and inspires more civil unrest.  The post OP-ED: To Fear a Protest: Columbia University’s Forceful Response to Peaceful and Legitimate Protest first appeared on BlackPressUSA.

  • The Great Crime Disconnect: Part 2

    Crime rates in the U.S. have been dropping since the 1990s. Criminologists and other experts sometimes call this the "great crime decline".
