When Tramell Tillman wins an Emmy

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class. This is Kirk's legacy. You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

Amber Thurman. Candi Miller. Josseli Barnica. Nevaeh Crain. Porsha Ngumezi. On the third anniversary of the overturning of Roe v. Wade, revisit our reporting about the women who died after not receiving timely medical care in states with strict abortion bans:
