traditionally, the winter olympics hasn't drawn the same global attention as the summer olympics, but. if the government is going to try to use this to sell certain aspects of life here, what it is doing, maybe it will be quite a big deal. i wonder really, the summer 0lympics, all sorts of promises had to be made in terms of opening up so they can secure the all in big games. they didn't have to do that with the winter olympics so i don't know if it will deliver the same social momentum. brooklyn is known worldwide for its hipster culture. think manicured beards, handmade preserves, and edgy fashion. but now black—owned businesses want to prove there's more to new york's hippest borough. i think there has been a trend over the past maybe 5—10 years of discussing brooklyn within the lens of white hipsters. we are here trying to balance out conversation of what brooklyn looks like and feels like and tastes like. black 0wned brooklyn is a curated guide based of brooklyn—based black owned brands and companies and the people behind those companies. we started it because we saw it was a res

special olympics isn't the accomplishment. the accomplishment is she got us to forget a whole different population. in so many ways, she is the anti-joe kennedy. only first-place finishes count. coming in second wasn't good enough. let me win buwith the win but ie up with me graves in the. on the other hand, she learned from her father's great gift was public relations. we are watching a series on cnn that the kennedy family. why are we so fascinated by because he took this family and molded them and we bought them. in this series with hours of information we all know, there is exactly one sentence devoted and it is an enormous injustice. the first title of the book and my contention is a little bold. they said today in the post none of us would be here if jack kennedy had resolved the cuban missile crisis, so maybe that is a bit of a stretch. you think about what she did she made us see this whole population in a new way. she said every child is entitled to a calm and entitled to play, to compete. they don't fall apart if the
