On March 7, the Journalism program hosted a discussion with Boston Globe Associate Editor Adrian Walker and former Boston Globe reporter Evan Allen to discuss their multimedia project “Murder in Boston.” The project included three parts released in December 2023: A nine-part podcast, an eight-part narrative series and a three-part HBO documentary. Both Walker and Allen had lead roles in the project: Walker, who was part of the Pulitzer-Finalist Spotlight team that examined race in Boston, headed the podcast portion, and Allen, who was part of the team that won the 2021 Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Reporting for the narrative portion, also participated in the creation of the project.

The Oklahoma Softball program and their head coach of 29 years, Patty Gasso, are arguably some of the greatest of all time when it comes to collegiate softball. Their 71-game win streak began in 2023 as they ended their season with 53 straight wins to close out the regular season. The Sooners then capped it off by winning the Women’s College World Series in 2023 and kept their win streak going until the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns broke it with a 7-5 victory on Sunday, March 3, 2024. Oklahoma’s last loss before March 3 was over a full year ago to Baylor in 2023, a statistic that has cemented their legacy in softball history as one of the greatest programs of all time.

Students gathered in the Shapiro Campus Center Wednesday evening to honor the Palestinians that have died in the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, resulting in impassioned speeches, disdain towards the University and minor conflict with onlookers. The University’s chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine released a statement of return on Feb. 29. The group was derecognized by administration in November “because it openly supports Hamas” and “engage[d] in conduct that harasses or threatens violence,” according to Vice President of Student Affairs Andrea Dine in a Nov. 6 email to SJP. The destruction in Gaza since Israel declared war on Oct. 8 has spurred student activists to action in universities around the U.S., and Brandeis is no exception. In their first public pro-Palestine gathering since the Nov. 11 protest that ended in the arrests of seven people, SJP and the Revolutionary Student Organization expressed their support of the Palestinian people and their condemnation of Israel.

The decision came in the wake of her second place performance at the South Carolina primary, trailing incumbent President Biden’s 96% win by a 94% difference, since she secured 2.1% of all the votes.

In the coming days of Feb. 13 through Feb. 17, the thought-provoking and moving immersive art installation, “Deconstructed Anthems: Massachusetts” will be debuted at the Cyclorama in the Boston Center for Arts. “Deconstructed Anthems” is a series of exhibitions created by artist, professor and Director of the Poetic Justice Group at Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media Lab Ekene Ijeoma. Ijeoma, whose background is in technology and interaction design, develops multimedia artwork designed to expose the inequities that riddle the United States and challenge his audience to change them. Through “Deconstructed Anthems,” Ijeoma depicts the immense scale of mass incarceration, as well as the gross racial disparities ingrained in the U.S. carceral system. Each site-specific iteration of “Deconstructed Anthems” uses data from the U.S. Department of Justice, combined with conceptual, multimedia art, to give voice to the over 1.5 million (disproportionately Black) individuals incarcerated in the U.S. since 1925. Ijeoma’s exhibit highlights the hypocrisy of the U.S. being the “land of the free” while having such high incarceration rates by centering the installation around the classic “Star Spangled Banner.” The exhibit combines an algorithmic composition programmed by Ijeoma and numerous musicians who methodically omit notes while playing “Star Spangled Banner” to reflect the escalation in national incarceration rates from 1925 to the present. Ijeoma achieves this by using a custom piano “retrofitted with hardware and software programmed to hold down keys at the same rates in the composition as a pianist is playing it.”

73 points in a game by a single player in a mere 45 minutes. A score of 157 to 152 in a game that did not even extend to overtime. For National Basketball Association fans 25 years ago, these statistics would seem otherworldly. They would appear so significant that they would dominate news headlines for weeks. However, this is now the reality and norm in the 2023-2024 NBA season.

February is notable as a month-long celebration of Black history and culture. However, it should be noted that our regard of the celebration must not only be reserved for twenty-eight days, but rather for the entire year. Recently I have reflected, not only on history, but on the stories unfolding now, right here at Brandeis. In an attempt to make a small difference I am shining a spotlight on the contributions of Black Brandeisians. I am documenting who they are and how they are making a positive impact on the Brandeis community.
