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."

Some Philadelphia Phillies fans and pundits have said that former second-round pick Scott Kingery should be called up after a miserable July that saw the team lack success at the plate. In 90 games with Triple-A Lehigh Valley this season Kingery has a .275/.326/.526 line with 22 home runs and 55 RBI, along with 18 stolen bases and 106 strikeouts. He also has a .337 BABIP and a 113 wRC+ so far to go with a 7.2% walk rate and a 29.3% strikeout rate. In 19 games in July, Kingery had a .983 OPS and seven home runs. So far, he has continued that success into August, with a 1.212 OPS and one home run in three games. Despite these impressive numbers, there’s no need to call Kingery up to the major league club.

The Canadian men’s squad was considered one of the teams to beat coming into the Olympics. The men’s national team was coming off their best World Cup performance, finishing with the bronze medal. Expectations were high, with the Canadians bringing that same medaling roster to the Olympics, plus more NBA talent, including MVP runner-up Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, NBA champion Jamal Murray, and Pacer Andrew Nembhard. Canada lived up to the expectations in the group stage, going 3-0 despite Murray struggling to impact the game. In the quarterfinals against France, Canada needed Murray, but like in group play, Murray struggled to have any positive impact. Through four games, Murray averaged just six points on 29% shooting from the field and was one of Canada’s worst players.
