With the 2021 NFL Draft less than two weeks away, the Baltimore Ravens appear more and more likely to take a wide receiver with the 27th pick. LSU wide receiver Jamar Chase is the consensus top player at the position and will be long gone by the time the Ravens pick in the first round. However, his teammate Terrace Marshall is a pretty sweet consolation prize and should be there for the Ravensâ taking.

In recent years, interest in locating burial grounds of enslaved people has grown. There is even a project called The National Burial Database of Enslaved Americans (NBDEA), which Slaververyremembrance.org describes as âthe first and only national database to document individual burials and burial grounds of enslaved Americans.â However, for actor, writer, filmmaker and director of the Study of the Legacy of Slavery in Maryland, Chris Haley, delving into Black history has nearly been a lifelong calling. His grandmother, Zeona Haley, sparked his interest in the topic when she gave him a book called âA Pictorial History of the Negro in America.â It piqued his curiosity, when he realized many were included beyond the most commonly known names.
