The search for possible mass graves from the Tulsa race massacre is officially underway nearly a century after hundreds of Black people were brutally killed by White rioters who burned and looted their community. The test excavation, which resumed Monday, is part of a study to determine whether there are human remains in the area, and, if so, what state they are in. It was put on hold in March because of the coronavirus pandemic. "Our work continues to find the graves of our fellow Tulsans who went missing during the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. Today, we begin a test excavation in Oaklawn Cemetery to determine what is causing an underground anomaly found by geophysical scanning conducted earlier this year," Tulsa Mayor G.T. Bynum said on Facebook. "Because the scan is consistent with a mass grave, a team of some of the foremost researchers in the nation have assembled in Tulsa to assess both the presence and the condition of any human remains at the site in question."...

More than seven thousand Moroccans, most of them women, are stranded in Spain after their country closed its borders to curb the spread of the coronavirus. They arrived in Spain to pick fruit in March, sending their earnings back home to families, and were trapped when the season ended in May. Now, 7,200 people are in limbo in Spain's southern Huelva province with almost no money, according to a statement released earlier this week by a group of Spanish and Moroccan non-governmental human rights organizations, including local Andalusian group Mujeres 24h. On Thursday, a group of 15 women staged a protest in in Cartaya, Huelva. The women, who work on one of the farms involved marched with banners demanding to be allowed to go back home. "We are here without a job, we have nothing, the money we had we sent it to our family. We are out of money to eat, we need to go back. We ask [King] Mohammed VI to send someone to help us so that we can return," Fátima, one of the proteste...

Ramon Abbas flaunted a lavish lifestyle of private jets, designer clothes and luxury cars. To his 2.5 million Instagram followers, he went by Ray Hushpuppi, a man who boarded helicopters from his Dubai waterfront apartment and walked around with shopping bags from Gucci, Versace and Fendi. On social media, where he posted a video of himself tossing wads of cash like confetti, he told his followers he was a real estate developer. But a federal affidavit alleged his extravagant lifestyle was financed through hacking schemes that stole millions of dollars from major companies in the United States and Europe. His flamboyant posts left a digital trail of evidence that investigators used to link him to the crimes, the affidavit shows. Last month, United Arab Emirates investigators swooped into his Dubai apartment, arrested him and handed him over to FBI agents, who flew him to Chicago on July 2, federal officials said. In the coming weeks, he'll be transferred to Los Angeles -- where the...

With the candle in our hands we lite hope Kings like slaves And blood-like red wine A generation comes and goes, Both great and mighty caged in ignorance  We watched our loved one taken like a sheep to slaughter before our very eye  We were deprived of our rights and like the deepest ocean our tears flow. In the search for redemption, we drain We were betrayed and hated each other for what we were made to believe.  Oh! How inferior and poor our mentality Like a bell as early heard in the morning  We are awakening from slumber  When the question ”Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” You can't shut a generation forever A child grows to fight for his right Yes it may tarry It's better late than never We have lost, with the candle in our hands we lite hope But we are up to possess our possession  Home of the rising sun  Florishing with milk and honey. That which was lost has been found Alas we bid goodbye  By Akuna L.O
