If you thought the Oscars were star-studded, then you would have loved the 2024 International Black Theatre Festival’s (IBTF) gala. Fashionably-dressed attendees (some honored celebrities) adorned in tuxedos, ball gowns, and African-cultural attire graced the Benton Convention Center, in downtown Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The ballroom was saturated in purple decorations, the color that symbolizes royalty, in honor of the founders, Larry Leon Hamlin and Sylvia Sprinkle-Hamlin. After a scrumptious dinner, the festivities kicked-off with melodious beats of African drums, the entrance of the traditional “person-on-stilts”, followed by exotic African dancers. This cultural rendition set the stage for the Parade of Stars that ushered in the honorees of this year’s award gala.

No, pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness don’t fold into caskets. It’s a question a reader posed one of the first times I wrote about pallet shelters. I find the pallet shelters to be more palatable than ice fishing tents. The Colorado Village Collaborative operates both micro-communities and the so-called Safe Outdoor Spaces with the tents. We all learned the tents are not safe when a fire roared through a CVC Safe Outdoor Space, destroying the compound quickly. Officials never disclosed a cause of the fire.
