Bounce and Brown Sugar, which honors the African-American community every day of the year, will present specially-curated movies, documentaries, and specials that recognizes the sacrifice, resilience, and contributions of African Americans for Black History Month 2021. Among Bounce s Black History Month schedule:
With Drawn Arms - The critically-acclaimed and compelling documentary that explores the impact and the legacy of U.S. Olympian Tommie Smith s then-shocking symbol of protest against social injustice while receiving a gold medal at the 1968 Summer Olympics.
King - The three-part mini-series about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., stretching from his days as a Southern Baptist minister up to the fateful day in Memphis in 1968. Paul Winfield stars as King along with acting legends Cicely Tyson, Ossie Davis, and Howard E. Rollins Jr.
February is Black History Month, a month to reflect on the life-changing contributions African Americans have made to the United States.
This week happens to be the birthday of Rosa Parks. For those who may not remember your history, in 1955, Parks refused to give up her seat for a white man on the bus she was riding. Her actions sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott which lasted 381 days and ended with the Supreme Court ruling that segregation on public transportation was unconstitutional.
Thursday marks Rosa Parks 108th birthday, and to celebrate her achievements and Transit Equity Day, Hart Transit will be offering free rides systemwide for the day.

The claims made by Democratic New York City mayoral candidate Andrew Yang in a recent op-ed in the Jewish weekly
The Forward, point to the prevailing ignorance that continues to dominate the US discourse on Palestine and Israel. Yang is a former Democratic Presidential candidate and is vying for the Jewish vote in New York City.
According to the reductionist assumption that all Jews must naturally support Israel and Zionism, Yang constructed an argument that is based entirely on a tired and false mantra equating criticism of Israel with anti-Semitism. His pro-Israel logic is not only unfounded, but also confused.
