His son Kaedi said he died in a hospital after a heart attack. Mr. Taylor’s character on “Sanford and Son,” the long-running NBC series that starred  Redd Foxx  as the irascible junk dealer Fred Sanford, was the friend and sidekick of Fred’s son, Lamont, played by Demond Wilson.

Delaitre Hollinger, the immediate past president of the Tallahassee branch of the NAACP, visits the Capital City Country Club in Tallahassee, Fla., on Dec. 17. The discovery this month of 40 graves _ with perhaps dozens more yet to be found _ has spawned discussion about how to dignify the souls who lay in eternal rest at the golf course. Hollinger says the slaves buried at the country club deserve to have their dignity restored. (AP) An archaeological investigation has confirmed that dozens of slaves were buried under Tallahassee, Fla.’s semi-private Capital Country Club.

Ava Duvernay  may be one of the most celebrated faces in Hollywood but, over the weekend, the  Selma  director found herself in hot water with some overly-passionate  Bernie Sanders  supporters on Twitter who had an issue with her recent critique of the Democratic candidate. The senator is coming off fresh from a triumphant victory at the Nevada caucuses, the second one of the primary season and first nominating contest on the West Coast. On Friday, February 21, the Vermont senator tweeted out a warning to his opponents stating, “I’ve got news for the Republican establishment. I’ve got news for the  Democratic establishment . They can’t stop us.” While his supporters were delighted over his recent win, the Oscar-nominated director wasn’t impressed and had her own rebuttal for the senator. I’m undecided. But I know this isn’t what I want. https://t.co/OBKZi0hee1 — Ava DuVernay (@ava) February 22, 2020 The Twitterverse went into a frenzy with...
