On the front lines of the culture war over Black history
WHEN IT CAME TIME FOR EMMITT GLYNN TO TEACH the lesson on the Black Panthers in his AP African American Studies class, he says he was overcome with \"fear\" walking into his classroom at Baton Rouge Magnet High School on Feb. 17-fear that what happened in the room would be misconstrued by the outside world. The school has been fielding so many media requests about Glynn's class that administrators set up a day for the press to come see the curriculum in action.

ABORTION IS STILL AVAILABLE IN South Carolina until 22 weeks of pregnancy, but intense efforts are under way to limit access. Dozens of state lawmakers back a bill that would make people who get abortions subject to the death penalty and another that would ban the procedure after 12 weeks.

Why are publishers rewriting classics?
ONLY DAYS AFTER A BRITISH PUBLISHER CAME UNDER fire for edits made to Roald Dahl's children's books, the Telegraph revealed Feb. 25 that James Bond was getting the same treatment. Just as Dahl's books would be adjusted to remove language that today's readers deem offensive, the estate of Bond author Ian Fleming has conducted a sensitivity review before an upcoming reissue of the spy novels.

A boxing franchise that feels like a gift, again
Now that our lives revolve around tiny screens tailored to our individual likes and dislikes, the act of trying to please a crowd-specifically, a crowd of moviegoers gathered at an actual theater has become more a noble pursuit than a purely money-grubbing one.

See Climate Change Through the Lens of Art
What happens when artists reckon with climate change? They visualize the air, sculpt the fluid, recreate a preserved underwater zone and process climate anxiety for us to ponder. Artists creatively grapple with environmental issues in an intimate and poetic way, contemplating the relationship between humans and nature. From colorful murals in Dublin to plastic waste installations in Frankfurt to dew-shaped stainless steel pins in Seoul, here are impactful exhibitions that may offer fresh perspective, some reflections, an alarm-or even some relief.

Taking Cover
A Ukrainian mortar team waits for Russian shelling to cease before attempting to return fire toward an enemy position on February 16. The city of Bakhmut lies in the Donetsk province, part of Ukraine's heavily industrialized eastern Donbas region, now partially occupied by Russia. Ukrainian forces have been holding the city for months against assaults led by Russian Wagner Group mercenaries, at great cost to both sides. As the February 24 one-year anniversary of the war approached, Russia intensified attacks across southern and eastern Ukraine.
