The group will appear in the documentary "Reclaiming History: Our Native Daughters" premiering Monday on Smithsonian Channel. (Terri Fensel/Smithsonian Channel via AP)NASHVILLE, Tenn. โ€“ Playing a banjo as a Black female artist is a form of activism for the four members of Our Native Daughters. Why does someone assume if youโ€™re Black, you must be doing urban music, whatever that means?โ€ said Russell. โ€œSongs of Our Native Daughtersโ€ which came out on the Smithsonian Folkways record label in 2019, focused on the stories of women during the transatlantic slave trade, but also the triumphs of Black women.

Broncos' A.J. Bouye suspended six games for PED violation

Read full article: Broncos' A.J. Bouye suspended six games for PED violation

Denver Broncos cornerback A.J. โ€œYeah, I was disappointed for him,โ€ Broncos coach Vic Fangio said about an hour after the league suspended Bouye. Missing the final four games of 2020 will cost Bouye $2.34 million. The suspension would hang over Bouye into 2021 when heโ€™d have to sit out the first two regular-season games. Given the injuries and suspension at cornerback, Parks said he was getting a crash course in the Broncosโ€™ 2020 playbook.

Zimbabwe elephants died from bacterial disease, say experts

Read full article: Zimbabwe elephants died from bacterial disease, say experts

Wildlife vets take samples from dead elephants found in Hwange National park, Zimbabwe, Saturday, Aug. 29, 2020. (AP Photo)HARARE โ€“ Parks authorities in Zimbabwe said Monday that the recent deaths of elephants have been caused by a bacterial disease that has previously affected elephants in Asia and other animals in southern Africa, although more tests will still be carried out. In recent years poachers in Zimbabwe have poisoned dozens of elephants with cyanide and then have taken their ivory tusks to sell them to illegal traders. Not enough information is known about the diseaseโ€™s effect on local elephants to predict a long-term outcome, he said. โ€œYes they die, but honestly this is just nothing, a drop in the ocean because we have over 84,000 elephants in Zimbabwe, which is overpopulation already,โ€ he said.
