鈥楾here was a lot of discord around campus. They couldn鈥檛 keep sweeping it under the rug.鈥�
The legacy of racial segregation and institutionalized racism still persists in the US. Wesleyan College in Georgia was once a whites-only school, now most of its new students are non-white and they have been raising big questions about some school traditions.
Also, in the wake of the documentary, 鈥楲eaving Neverland鈥�,, a popular museum in Germany is not cancelling its Michael Jackson exhibit, the museum director tells us why; we look back at the career of Ichiro Suzuki the greatest Japanese baseball player of all time; we compare some of the biggest politicians in the US to Roman emperors; and we try out a new millennial version of the popular Latin American board game,鈥楲oteria鈥�.
