George Preston Marshall, the original owner of the Washington Redskins, was well-known for opposing integration in the NFL and didn't sign a Black American to the Redskins roster until 1962 — 16 years after the league began signing Black players.

From CNN's Adrienne VogtChicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is leading a group of mayors from around the US asking Congress to work with them on police reform and inequality.

“I think they’ve got to listen and invite us into the conversation. Mayors are on the frontlines. We’ve been on the frontlines through Covid-19; that work continues. We're on the frontlines when it comes to police reform and accountability,” she said to CNN’s Alisyn Camerota. “Hearing from mayors and police chiefs on the front lines, I think, will only enrich and inform the discussion and debate happening at the national level,” she added.

Lightfoot said they are in the process of laying out a set of specific guidelines, and she hopes that Congress will take them into account as they work on. She also said that Congress needs to take into account that city budgets have been hammered by the coronavirus crisis, as well. “I think that they're missing the nuance, which is where the detail lies, about things like having licensing, about things like reporting uses of force,” she said. “All those things sound good, but we have got to figure out how we do them in a way that doesn't add to the burden of cities and states and an unfunded mandate — that in this time of austere budgets — that we can't handle.”

Charleston officials to remove statue of slavery advocateOfficials in Charleston, South Carolina, plan to remove a statue of slavery advocate John C. Calhoun despite a state law protecting monuments. The move comes five years after a racist attack killed nine people at a Charleston church. (Corrects death toll) Move the statues to the back of a storage lot somewhere. Explain that this is separate but equal to old location. Give them a little back of what they did to the blacks. I’d rhey don’t remove them let’s just destroy them. Charleston must remove all public displays of Confederate leaders and generals and house them in a museum (or better yet a nice dumpster). With a deep history rooted in slavery, plantation tourism, and 'King Cotton' it's time to come to terms with discrimination and inequality!
