Congressional Hearing On Slavery Reparations Set For Wednesday

For the first time in a decade Congress will hold a hearing Wednesday on the subject of reparations for the descendants of slaves in the United States, a topic that has gained traction in the run-up to the 2020 elections. The hearing is set for June 19, also known as "Juneteenth," the day when in 1865 former enslaved people in Texas first learned that they had been emancipated two years earlier. The House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties is holding the hearing on H.R. 40 , which calls for a commission to "study and develop reparation proposals for African-Americans," including a formal apology by the U.S. government "for the perpetration of gross human rights violations and crimes against humanity on African slaves and their descendants." The hearing is scheduled to feature testimony from author Ta-Nehisi Coates, whose article "The Case for Reparations," published by The Atlantic magazine in 2014, is widely credited with re-igniting the

The Paradise Papers

Remember the Panama Papers? It was a massive 2015 document leak that exposed a system in which offshore companies enable crime and corruption. The Pulitzer Prize-winning investigation that followed, led by The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), was a collaboration among more than 100 newsrooms across the world. It led to a flurry of resignations and indictments and took down leaders in Iceland and Pakistan.

This week, Reveal journalists teamed up with ICIJ for a new bombshell: The Paradise Papers.

This time around, the action is centered on more than 13 million confidential files leaked to Suddeutsche Zeitung and shared with the ICIJ’s global team of more than 300 journalists. Many of the confidential documents, emails and voicemails come from Appleby, a Bermuda-based law firm. The leaks shed light on how corporate giants move their cash from one offshore tax haven to another.

The Paradise Papers also open questions about Trump’s Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross’ financial ties to Russian companies.

And they disclose how Facebook and Twitter received backing from Kremlin-controlled Russian banks. This comes at a time when the two tech giants are facing scrutiny by the U.S. Justice Department and Congress.

This global collaboration involves a team of journalists from 67 countries. Reveal is the first U.S. public radio show and podcast to tell the story through audio. Don’t miss this episode, and stay tuned for a series of partners’ text stories on our site in the coming days.

Geen parade, geen patriottisme en geen Poetin: het Rode Plein blijft leeg

Het Rode Plein in Moskou blijft vandaag leeg. Geen trots marcherende militairen, geen voorbijtrekkende tanks of luchtafweersystemen, geen veteranen van de Grote Vaderlandse Oorlog. De coronacrisis heeft roet in het eten gegooid.

Het had het hoogtepunt moeten worden van Poetins regeerperiode die in 2000 begon: een grootschalige herdenking van de victorie op nazi-Duitsland, de 75ste Dag van de Overwinning. Maar de grootste militaire parade ooit is de president door de neus geboord.

Lijden en ongekende trots

9 mei is de belangrijkste feestdag in Rusland en dit jaar is een kroonjaar. Het is een dag van rouw om de ruim 20 miljoen doden die de toenmalige Sovjet-Unie aan het eind van de Tweede Wereldoorlog te betreuren had. Maar het is ook een dag van ongekende trots. Al dat lijden heeft immers geresulteerd in de verovering van Berlijn en de val van het nazi-regime in mei 1945. Zonder het bloed, het zweet en de tranen van het Rode Leger en de Sovjet-bevolking als geheel was dat nooit gelukt.

Hoe graag had Poetin niet op het bordes op het Rode Plein gestaan om de militaire parade af te nemen, geflankeerd door wereldleiders aan de ene kant en het handjevol veteranen dat nog leeft aan de andere kant. Bekeken en bewonderd door tientallen miljoenen televisiekijkers.

Een beetje zoals president Loekasjenko van buurland en voormalige Sovjetstaat Wit-Rusland wél deed. Hij vindt het virus een waanvoorstelling:

Politiek patriottisme

De emotie die de Dag van de Overwinning in Rusland oproept is echt, maar Poetin heeft er een element aan toegevoegd: politiek patriottisme. "We hebben geen ander samenbindend idee dan patriottisme," zei hij in 2016.

Een jaar later voegde hij daaraan toe dat het laten varen van patriottisme "heel gevaarlijk is, de eerste stap op weg naar een wereldramp". En tijdens zijn jaarlijkse grote persconferentie van 2019 zei hij: "Naar mijn mening is patriottisme de enig mogelijke ideologie in een moderne democratische samenleving."

De 75ste Dag van de Overwinning zou bij uitstek in het teken moeten staan van dat politieke patriottisme en Poetin zou er het boegbeeld van zijn.

Niet gegund

Poetin vindt dat Russen op zoek moeten naar wat hen bindt: de liefde voor hun vaderland. Het probleem is dat dat zo ongeveer de enige verbindende factor is in Rusland. Op tal van andere terreinen zijn de belangentegenstellingen levensgroot. Een ander probleem is dat Poetin zichzelf als de enig mogelijke leider van dat patriottische Rusland ziet.

Hoe dan ook, zijn finest hour is hem niet gegund. Massabijeenkomsten zijn een ernstig risico voor verdere verspreiding van het coronavirus en het gaat wat dat betreft toch al niet al te best in Rusland. Voor Poetin rest een bijrol die hem maar matig zal bevallen.

Hij legt een krans bij het graf van de onbekende soldaat, hij spreekt het volk toe, misschien zingt hij 's avonds mee als het de bedoeling is dat heel Rusland het beroemde lied Dag van de Overwinning aanheft. En dan rest hem niets meer dan vanuit zijn slaapkamerraam naar het ongetwijfeld majestueuze vuurwerk te kijken.

An influx of refugees formed a flourishing artistic community centred within a few square miles near Hollywood and this exceptional gathering of composers transformed America’s musical landscape.
