Intimate Look at the Williams Sisters

(The Root) -- It's tough being a black female athlete in America, especially if you're crushing the competition in a predominantly white sport like tennis where fans have called you "nigger" midgame.

In Venus and Serena, the new documentary that hit select theaters recently, director and producer Michelle Major and her team dug into the lives of the Williams sisters during 2011. With unfettered access, the cameras caught the pair practicing with their parents, recovering from injuries with blood-filled IV bags and learning from John McEnroe when to curse out referees -- and Serena smooching with then-boyfriend Common.

A Birmingham Prom 50 Years in the Making

(The Root) -- Ethel and Eugene Arms have three children, five grandchildren and four great grandchildren. Now, after 49 years of marriage, the Birmingham, Ala., couple have something they've waited on for 50 years -- prom memories.

The high school sweethearts didn't go to the prom in 1963, because for students who attended black high schools in Birmingham, there wasn't one. In May 1963, hundreds of these students had protested for civil rights as part of the Children's March -- facing fire hoses, dogs and police with clubs. Many went to jail, and several were kicked out of school.

Officials at the time canceled senior proms and several other school activities, for safety reasons, they said. Students said the cancellations were punishment aimed at those who dared to stand up to protest segregation laws.

How Foreclosure Undermined Black and Brown Wealth

Colorlines' Imara Jones hopes that someone is paying attention to a recent report on how to fix the policy mess's impact on communities of color.

Despite recent headlines trumpeting a return of America's real estate market to its boom-time highs, a report released today by the Alliance for a Just Society shows how little of that has trickled into communities of color. The document, entitled "Wasted Wealth," is a sobering reminder of the gap between top-line economic cheerleading and the reality of what's happening on the ground.

As "Wasted Wealth" lays out, close to 2.5 million families lost homes in just three years. Communities that were majority people of color saw foreclosures take place at almost twice the rate as white communities, with an average loss of wealth 30 percent higher per household.
