The U.S. and Caribbean countries have spent this week tracking and dealing with Hurricane Dorian. It also consumed President Trump’s week as the president has spent days trying to prove he was right in warning Alabama was in the path of the hurricane.

Read more What I learned from spending two nights in a maximum-security prison For two nights I slept and to a limited extent lived like an inmate in Angola, housed in a tiny cell in the same facility where the most difficult inmates are kept, and chillingly just a few steps away from death row. Journalism thrives on access. To understand the issues of criminal justice reform that are now riding atop a bipartisan wave, it was important to me to get close. And so I did. By Lester Holt.
Dismissed for too long, black chefs are seizing their moment A few months ago, Jessica B. Harris, the expert of African American culinary history and writing, was inducted in the Cookbook Hall of Fame of the James Beard Foundation. She seized the moment to remind the foundation’s audience of something: She had been around as long as the esteemed Beard himself, but it was the first time one of her over a dozen books, “Sweet Home Café Cookbook: A Celebration of African American Cooking,” had been nominated for an award.
