Progressive Democrats initially might have been wary of Sara Jacobs when she came to Congress in 2021. The Center for Responsive Politics showed that in 2020, she was the fifth most self-funded candidate, a product of the fact that her grandfather co-founded the semiconductor company Qualcomm. She also beat a candidate who had the endorsement of Senator Bernie Sanders, who had won the California primary. It would be easy to dismiss her as a moneyed “nepo baby” with nothing to offer to the left of the party.But since becoming a congresswoman, the 35-year-old California Democrat has distinguished herself as one...

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Dorothy Dandridge was one of Hollywood’s first Black sex symbols and the first black actress to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress. Around 1930, Dandridge relocated to Los Angeles, California, with her family. A few years later she found success with her new musical group, the Dandridge Sisters, which included sister Vivian and their friend Etta Jones. The group landed gigs at the famous Cotton Club in Harlem and performed with top acts such as the Jimmie Lunceford Orchestra and Cab Calloway. As an African American singer, Dandridge confronted early on the segregation and racism of the entertainment industry. She may have been allowed on stage, but in some venues, she couldn't eat in the restaurant or use certain facilities because of the color of her skin."

Early in his presidency, Barack Obama addressed
an audience at Cairo University in an attempt to improve America’s standing in
the Arab world. Titled “A New Beginning,”
the speech called for “mutual interest and mutual respect” between the United
States and Muslim-majority countries, a reciprocal association that would expunge
the tensions that characterized the Bush administration’s relationship with
Middle Eastern nations. In explaining how relations between the U.S. and Islam
had deteriorated, Obama mentioned, among other list items, “a Cold War in which
Muslim-majority countries were too often treated as proxies without regard to
their own aspirations.” The Atlantic called
the talk “brilliant” and “public relations magic.”  Alas, it was more...
