Elon Musk: Person of the Year 2021
Updated: Dec. 13, 2021: 2:09 p.m.
The richest man in the world does not own a house and has recently been selling off his fortune. He tosses satellites into orbit and harnesses the sun; he drives a car he created that uses no gas and barely needs a driver. With a flick of his finger, the stock market soars or swoons. An army of devotees hangs on his every utterance. He dreams of Mars as he bestrides Earth, square-jawed and indomitable.
Etche Culture: A brief walk into the history and economy of one of Nigeria's lovely people
Their identity seems to be shrouded in the shadows of major ethnic groups within the region they occupy. And their history, like most ethnic groups in Nigeria, was not documented; thus it is characterized by conflicting accounts. Where one account claims that the Etches originated and migrated from the great Benin Kingdom, another says that their ancestors were among the earliest Igbos that moved to the different areas they now inhabit after the Igbos migrated and settled in what is now known as Nigeria.

Freedom Schools Are Still Radicaland Necessary
Sixty years ago, over 40 Freedom Schools opened their doors to all children in the state of Mississippi. Iterations of “freedom schooling”—clandestine or fugitive learning by and for Black communities—existed for centuries, since the era of enslavement. For those communities, education was linked to liberation and the democratic project itself.
