A video more than a year old showing Biden saying Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination lacked the same "worldwide impact" as George Floyd's murder was going viral in an apparent attempt from political rivals to use MLK's name to smear the president amid efforts to secure voting rights.

White students at two East Bay schools in California have reportedly been disciplined over blatantly racist acts.

This Front Page is by no means exhaustive. There is no way to list the names of every Black person killed by police—no way to list every injustice, every instance of inhumanity and hypocrisy.

What we have curated here is a small window into what resistance, revolution, and reimaging has looked like across this nation and the globe.
