Journalists with the closest access to the Trump arraignment were inside the courtroom, within feet of the former president. Court rules can vary some, but typically, when reporters receive access to federal court they're allowed to bring along their cell phones and laptops.

My mother, utterly mortified, sent me to my room with the stern admonishment that asking for money was not polite. I found it was as difficult to accept money as it was to ask for it, especially if it happened to be a gift.

John Blake, seen here in a second-grade photo, grew up as the son of a White mother and Black father. What I didn’t know was that my community had died long before the Freddie Gray protests. That’s the story I wanted to tell, but I didn’t know how. I didn’t know how to tell Harlow any of that because my story doesn’t fit traditional narratives about race or identity. My white family members didn’t change because I shamed them with an impressive lecture on systemic racism.
