zReportage.com Story of the Week #781: TUESDAY April 6, 2021: BLACK AMERICA: ARMED AND READY by award winning photographer Youngrae Kim and writer John Keilman from the Chicago Tribune: Faced with rising crime and social upheaval, more Black Chicagoans are seeking out firearms for their own protection. Grief and rage swept the country after the death of George Floyd under police custody in Minneapolis. His death renewed debate about racialized police violence and the disproportionate killing of Black Americans, who are up to four times likelier than white Americans to be killed by police. While there may be an uptick in Black people owning guns in the United States today for protection, it’s not necessarily a new phenomenon. The majority of gun owners are white men, but in a 2017 survey by the Pew Research Center, 24% of Black people reported owning a gun, compared to 36% of white people. New organizations dedicated to Black gun ownership are emerging, aiming to provide a welcoming environment to newcomers and counter long-standing negative images of Black people with firearms. Welcome to: BLACK AMERICA: ARMED AND READY

zReportage.com Story of the Week #780: TUESDAY March 30, 2021: SYRIA Decade of WAR by Le Pictorium photographer Chloe Shamrock who specializes on Middle-East Issues: It has been 10 years since the start of the Syrian uprisings and the country is still mired in a war that has displaced millions and killed hundreds of thousands. In early 2011, a wave of pro-democracy uprisings swept the world, especially in the Middle East. In Syria, what began a decade ago turned into a civil war that is still going on. Raqqa, situated on the Euphrates River in Syria’s north, was the first governorate capital to fall under opposition control after the start of the Syrian uprising. In 2014, the city was captured by ISIS, who declared it their capital, then was subsequently devastated by US-led coalition air raids during the anti-ISIL operations. According to some estimates, between 70 and 80 percent of the city was destroyed, and its infrastructure almost completely wiped out. A surge of COVID infections has made life even more difficult for war-weary families. Welcome to: SYRIA Decade of WAR
