It also seeks reforms to international financial institutions that supporters say disadvantage Third World countries.The proposal is expected to be presented at the next UN General Assembly as African and Caribbean nations step up a coordinated push for slavery reparations.The plan was adopted Friday by the African Union and the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Commission on Reparatory Justice at the end of a three-day conference.REPARATIONS ADVOCATES PUSH FOR PAYMENTS TO BLACK AMERICANS DESPITE BUDGET AND LEGAL CHALLENGES “None of us gathered in this hall today can be held personally responsible for the atrocities of the transatlantic slave trade,” Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama told delegates.”History does not ask us to inherit guilt, but it asks us to inherit responsibility,” Mahama added.The proposal does not identify specific countries that should provide compensation or issue formal apologies.TULSA MAYOR PROPOSES $100M…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! ESPN star Stephen A. Smith has long been one of the New York Knicks’ loudest critics, but the New York City native struck a different tone this week.Days after the Knicks won their first NBA title in more than five decades, the longtime “First Take” host joined Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart for a live taping of their “Roommates Show” podcast. The event was livestreamed from inside the Infosys Theater at Madison Square Garden on Friday, one day after the Knicks’ long-awaited ticker-tape championship parade.Smith appeared to face boos shortly after he was welcomed to the stage. The noise grew louder when Hart said he had kept mental receipts of Smith’s past Knicks criticism. One of Hart’s notes centered on Smith’s claim that Villanova’s 2016 national championship roster lacked NBA-caliber prospects. Hart, Brunson and Mikal Bridges later became NBA draft picks and helped fuel the Knicks’ title run. Brunson signed with New York in 2022, a move Smith quickly dismissed by declaring the guard “isn’t the answer” for the Knicks.JALEN BRUNSON’S SISTER BLASTS ESPN AFTER STEPHEN A SMITH KNICKS RANT: ‘UTTERLY RIDICULOUS’After revisiting Smith’s past comments, Hart pointed to the championship trophy…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! CHICAGO — After officials kicked off the opening weekend of the Barack Obama Presidential Center with a widely mocked “land acknowledgment” — a nod to the political far-left that believes the United States was built on “stolen land” — a traditional Native American dance show was featured during Saturday’s scheduled events.The Black Hawk Performance Company is a Native American dance troupe based in the Chicago area, composed of dancers from several Indigenous tribes.Saturday marked the third day of the Obama Presidential Center’s grand opening, which featured musical and cultural performances ranging from international superstars like John Legend to local drum lines.The lively Native American display, held in John Lewis Plaza on the center’s campus, featured a drum circle, several traditional dances and songs, including one honoring a Native American flag.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Kevin Warsh has now been sworn in as the new Federal Reserve Chair. Outgoing Chair Jerome Powell has refused to leave the Fed Board of Governors, breaking with the modern custom that departing Fed chairs leave the Board rather than linger as rival power centers. The clear danger: Powell will have enough Board support to act as Fed Shadow Chair and force a series of rate hikes down Warsh’s throat. Never mind that even a single rate hike would be the worst possible response to an oil-price shock. Never mind that two of Jay Powell’s predecessors understood the difference between demand inflation and an oil shock. When Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990, Alan Greenspan understood that an oil shock can both raise headline inflation and damage growth. His FOMC repeatedly cut the federal-funds rate as the economy weakened.TRUMP’S FED CHAIR PICK KEVIN WARSH IGNITES FIGHT OVER INDEPENDENCE ON CAPITOL HILLWhen oil, foodstuffs, fertilizers, and industrial metals all moved sharply higher in 2008 — driven by booming emerging-market demand, constrained supply, thin spare capacity, and speculative flows — Ben Bernanke’s Fed likewise cut the federal-funds rate in April.
