Yusuf Hawkins is a name everyone should know. On August 23, 1989, 16-year-old Hawkins and three of his friends traveled from East New York to Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. The boys had plans to look at a car, a 1982 Pontiac for sale by the owner. When the four Black teenagers emerged from the subway into the largely white Italian-American neighborhood to meet the car's seller, they were attacked by a mob of white kids, several armed with baseball bats. All four Black boys were injured; Hawkins was fatally shot.  In the aftermath, some would say it was a case of mistaken identity. Others would argue it was the wrong time or the wrong place. The brawl that ensued was eventually tied to a love triangle involving a white neighborhood girl whom neither Hawkins nor his friends knew — proof, some claimed, that the murder wasn't racially motivated at all.  Read more...More about Hbo,

The company confirmed its commitment to a November launch on Tuesday at almost the same time a tweet from 343 Industries confirmed that Halo Infinite wouldn't be releasing alongside the console. Instead, the next chapter in the Halo series will arrive sometime in 2021.

black-ish Season 4's previously shelved "Please, Baby, Please" is now available on Hulu. In 2018, ABC (owned by Disney) decided to shelve the episode, in which Dre (Anthony Anderson) expresses fear about Donald Trump's presidency through an allegorical bedtime story for his baby. Show creator Kenya Barris shared the news on social media Monday. "Following the re-airing of 'Juneteenth' and 'Hope,' I asked Walt Disney Television to revisit making ['Please, Baby, Please'] available," Barris wrote. "Recognizing the importance of this moment, they listened and agreed." pic.twitter.com/fDuR3syihg — kenya barris (@funnyblackdude) August 10, 2020 Read more...
