1971, London: 47-year-old novelist, James Baldwin, sat down to have an honest and open discussion with 28-year-old poet, poet Nikki Giovanni, about the state of affairs between the Black men and women of the time. The wide-ranging conversation explores Black life in America, the struggle for racial justice and evolving gender roles, while also offering insight into the work and artistic process of two literary icons.

Peanuts, June 5, 1953
RCMP are asking for the public’s help in locating a missing 26-year-old Saskatchewan woman.
Dakota Tierney Jade Pratt was last seen leaving her home on the Gordon First Nation around 10 a.m. on July 21.
Pratt is described as First Nations, five-foot-seven and 175 pounds with black hair. She was last seen wearing black leggings and carrying a white purse.
While it’s believed Pratt was headed to Moose Jaw, she may have gone to Saskatoon or Prince Albert, RCMP said.
Anyone with information on her whereabouts is asked to contact Punnichy RCMP at 306-835-5200 or the nearest police service or detachment.
Elliot Earl Williams is a 37-year-old Army veteran with a history of mental illness. As you know, nearly half of people returning from hot zones have mental illnesses such as PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) or TBI (traumatic brain injury) and shouldn’t be blamed. He was arrested in the hotel for having a mental breakdown.
Instead, he was given nothing but disgust. He was left naked in the cell for days unable to eat, drink and even move, until he was pronounced dead. He was treaded like an animal! Luckily, there was a camera in the cell and you can see everything by yourself.
This horrible attitude towards Black veteran is an outrage.
