The images slide across three screens in relentless succession. White birds flap over the wetlands and a boy in the burning sun. Elephants move through the scrub. One thing after another, and then another, and then something else. Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser and a fleeting glimpse of Malcolm X. Someone playing sax. A rhino quivering in death. Whenever you dwell on one thing, something else calls for attention. Big game hunters climb down from a dead elephant with no more thought than if theyâd slid from a bonnet of a truck, all caught in some souvenir black and white footage from their safari.

STATESVILLE, N.C. A Statesville woman who pushed for the removal of a Confederate Monument says she’s become the target of the Ku Klux Klan once again.
Genesis Houpe contacted WCCB after she found a Confederate flag hanging outside her apartment door early Sunday morning. She immediately called Statesville Police. She says officers patrolled the area, and took the flag in for evidence. Just a month ago, Houpe contacted police after finding a KKK flyer on her front door.
Houpe says she’s concerned for her family’s safety, and she wants police to arrest the people who are attempting to intimidate her.

LEXINGTON, Va. - After controversy in Portsmouth last year, the city s former police chief will be the head of another police department in Virginia.
Lexington City Manager Jim Halasz announced Thursday that Former Portsmouth Police Chief Angela Green has been tapped as the next chief of police for the city. She replaces Mike Frost, who has served as the interim police chief since October 2020, and will assume her duties on May 10.
Lexington city officials say Green s appointment follows an extensive recruitment process led by the Virginia Association of Chiefs of Police (VACP), which included screenings and assessments by the VACP and two interview panels, including one comprised of members of the Lexington community.
