REVIEW

SPACE JAM: A NEW LEGACY

The king of basketball, Lebron James stars in the remake of the family classic ‘Space Jam: A New Legacy’. The movie shows the importance of teamwork and the support of a father.

Director Malcolm D. Lee, who directed Girl’s Trip, Night School, and The Best Man, tries his hand at his first animated feature and creates a movie that has all of the elements of the previously mentioned films but is set in an animated world. He gets a top-notch performance from Lebron James, the reigning King of Basketball, and Don Cheadle, the Academy Award-nominated actor, who plays a computer algorithm named Al G. Rhythm.
WEAR MASKS! WASH HANDS!

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's director, Dr. Rochelle Walensky announced that people who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 can discard the masks and also cease to physically distance. That's for inside or outside, so while some businesses and sports teams have celebrated the announcement, many took to social media to say they would not stop wearing their masks.

It’s been nearly five decades since the murder of 12-year-old Santos Rodriguez by a Dallas police officer. On Saturday, Dallas police Chief Eddie García formally apologized to Bessie Rodriguez, Santos’ 77-year-old mother. It was a first for a Dallas police chief, Rodriguez’s mother said during a memorial at Oakland Cemetery observing the 48th anniversary of Santos’ murder. The murder stunned Dallas and the nation, as one horrific detail after another became known. But it also galvanized the Mexican American community to seek change. Saturday, though, belonged to Santos’ mother.
