By ILAN BEN ZION Associated Press JERUSALEM (AP) — The Israeli government on Thursday urged its citizens to avoid travel to the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, citing threats of Iranian attacks. Iran has been threatening to attack Israeli targets since its chief nuclear scientist, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, was assassinated last Friday near Tehran. It accuses Israel, which has been suspected in previous killings of Iranian nuclear scientists, of being behind the shooting. Israel has not commented on the killing. But Fakhrizadeh has long been on Israel's radar screen, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying at a 2018 news conference about […]

In Chicago, where I was born and raised, the word was, “vote early and vote often.” It was a mantra espoused by the then-Mayor Richard Daly’s notorious GOTV machine, known far and wide as the way to win elections. I say this somewhat tongue-in-cheek because without knowing it, I was exposed to the block by block strategy of politicking at […]
This article highlights the impact basketball has had on Erica McCall
and her father Greg McCall: life lessons, skill development, father and
daughter bonding, and travel and exposure to countries around the globe.
Because I am a firm believer the world of sports can have
such a powerful impact on society, I was curious to hear from Erica, what life
lessons she learned from the game of basketball.
and the Stanford Cardinal, Erica’s hoop game has taken her all
over the world; she’s played in Merida, Mexico in the International Basketball
Federation (FIBA), Americas U16 Championship for Women, she also played in FIBA
Under-17 World Championship for Women in Amsterdam.
I was eager to hear Erica’s thoughts on
the difference in the response; she mentioned: “Yes, this is a lot
different from what I’ve seen in the past, from the Trevon Martin protest to
now… You see a lot of evolution in who is doing the protest… I went to a
Bakersfield protest and the majority of the people protesting were Hispanic and
White.
Erica remained gracious with her time while answering my
questions on this sensitive subject, she then reflected on a conversation she
had recently, “I was having a conversation with my Stanford friends,
talking about implicit bias… Things my white friends did not know, they just
experience it… They are never going to know if they go out to research for it,
so it’s up to black people to tell them this isn’t good; we don’t like when
people touch our hair; we don’t like when people tell us, ‘oh my gosh, you talk
so well, you are so articulate.’
