By Tribune Staff BRENTWOOD, TN — The national conversation surrounding the private prison system has been at the fore of many social justice narratives, but executives of the nation’s biggest private prison contractor, CoreCivic, are hoping the incoming Biden administration will find the institution necessary or be too busy to put the industry at the top of its priority list, Nashville Post’s Matt Blois reported. “When you think of all the other initiatives that are on his plate — health care, tax reform, climate change, trade negotiations.

Donald Trump was far more of a disaster than a leader, but fortunately the country’s medical experts and community stepped into the breach, and have helped push forward a vaccine to fight this deadly disease, even as Trump blusters and now tries to claim…

Anyone who truly loves baseball has long ago had to deal with its ugly history of racist practices, most notably a ban that kept Black players out of the leagues from the late 19th century until Jackie Robinson’s entry in 1947. The sport in recent years has repeatedly struggled to regain the Black fan base it enjoyed from the ‘50s until the ‘70s, and try and stop the steady erosion of potential youthful multi-sport Black talent opting for careers in football or basketball, lately even soccer or hockey. This past Wednesday they took another step in trying to address past…
