    November 28, 2024
    by Robin van Minnen

    Rebel Ridge, or Black Superman Fist-fighting the American Justice System

    by Arthur Mulder, Essay

    “The Kadats of America, Chicago’s most loved young Black drill team, shown performing…” by John H. White Conflict is the engine of history. Necessity is not the mother of invention; spite, disagreement and ambition are. Stormless seas carry no ships and calm waters lack the beauty of ripples. In fiction it is much the same.…
