Malcolm X’s visit to West Midlands to be remembered in mural

Malcom X memorial mural

It was a moment that united the US civil rights movement with the anti-racist movement in Britain, helping to change the country – and to mark its 60th anniversary it will be commemorated with a mural.

On 12 February 1965, the black American activist Malcolm X visited Smethwick, in the West Midlands after what is remembered as the most racist election campaign the UK has ever seen.

The Ivy Bush, in Smethwick, would not serve black customers back then. But now a mural will be painted on one of its outer walls depicting Malcolm X along with Claudia Jones – the campaigning journalist who helped launch the Notting Hill carnival and Britain’s first black newspaper – and Avtar Singh Jouhl, the anti-racism activist who invited him to Smethwick.

Drs. Thaer Ahmad, Ayesha Khan, Feroze Sidhwa and Mahmooda Syed met with the U.N. secretary-general and spoke last week with the press about the future of Gaza.

Trump says Palestinians will have no right of return to Gaza under his plan

GazaDonald Trump has said that his plan to “take over Gaza” would not include a right of return for the more than 2 million Palestinians that he has said have “no alternative” but to leave because of the destruction left by Israel’s military campaign.

The remarks are the latest effective endorsement of ethnic cleansing by the US president, who announced his plan last week during a summit with the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, to the outrage of the Arab world and the surprise of even his closest aides.

In the interview with Fox’s Bret Baier, Trump said that he would “own” the Gaza Strip and declared it would be a “real estate development for the future”.

TVNL Comment: Where in hell is it written that Trump can take ownership of a sovereign sstate? Where in hell is it written that he can deny Palestinians their right to return? This has to be a nightmare that only the other Arab states can correct.

Nearly $500m of food aid at risk of spoilage after Trump USAid cuts

$500m in food spoilage after USAID stoppageNearly half a billion dollars of food aid is at risk of spoilage following the decision of Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s “Doge” agency to make cuts to USAid, according to an inspector general (IG) report released on Monday.

Following staff reductions and funding freezes, the US agency responsible for providing humanitarian assistance across the world – including food, water, shelter and emergency healthcare – is struggling to function.

“Recent widespread staffing reductions across the agency … coupled with uncertainty about the scope of foreign assistance waivers and permissible communications with implementers, has degraded USAid’s ability to distribute and safeguard taxpayer-funded humanitarian assistance,” the report said.

US equality chief fired by Trump condemns ‘demonization of the term DEI’

Jocelyn SamuelsSeven days after Donald Trump was inaugurated, Jocelyn Samuels received a message from the White House saying that the president – who had first appointed her as a commissioner to the US government agency tasked with fighting workplace discrimination – now wanted her gone.

Like so many other officials Trump has axed since retaking office, Samuels was informed she was being terminated from the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) because of her “support for radical Biden administration guidance, DEI initiatives and a refusal to defend women against extreme gender ideology”.

Black church vandalized by Proud Boys hopes to use attention for social justice

William Lamar

A historic Black church in Washington, D.C., whose Black Lives Matter sign was vandalized by members of the Proud Boys, plans to launch a project Monday to further support its social justice work and those of national groups.

“It will be a place for people to think about what we do next, how we move forward,” William Lamar, pastor of the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church told USA TODAY in an exclusive interview. “We will be considering questions like what do we all do next? How do we go forward and how can we be victorious in the space in which we find ourselves, politically and spiritually and emotionally?’’

The project, which will be posted on the church website, will provide a space for discussions about social justice concerns and ways to address them, Lamar said.

California prison gynecologist accused of ‘horrific’ abuse of patients in lawsuit

Institution for Women Chino

A gynecologist at a California prison sexually abused people in custody for years, subjecting them to “horrific, sadistic” mistreatment under the guise of medical care, according to a lawsuit filed by six women this week.

The class-action complaint announced on Wednesday alleges that Dr Scott Lee, a 70-year-old OB-GYN, repeatedly sexually harassed and physically abused his patients behind bars at the California Institution for Women (CIW) from 2016 to 2023 while he was the sole gynecologist on staff.

A 93-page complaint filed in federal court details allegations that Lee conducted abusive exams and coercive procedures, refused to stop exams when patients were in pain, forcibly restrained them when they expressed discomfort, made inappropriate and sexualized comments and retaliated against incarcerated victims who complained about his mistreatment.
