In a nod to history, Biden will meet with Brown v. Board of Education families |
It's been a decade since Cheryl Brown Henderson, the daughter of the namesake plaintiff in the landmark Brown v. Board of Education civil rights case, last stepped foot in the White House. On her last visit in 2014, Henderson's family met the nation's first Black president, Barack Obama. When the Kansas native and founder of the Brown Foundation returns this Thursday for a conversation with President Joe Biden and other families involved in the case, she'll be celebrating another milestone — the 70th anniversary of the May 17, 1954, decision that led to the desegregation of schools.

Biden and Trump agree to two televised debates |
President Joe Biden and Donald Trump agreed Wednesday to debate each other twice, first in June and again in September, after a rapid back-and-forth between their campaigns and a flurry of taunts and insults from the candidates. |

Inflation eases in April as prices fall for eggs, bacon and bread, CPI data shows |
Inflation eased in April as declines in grocery and used car prices offset another rise in rent and gasoline. After inflation picked up notably early this year, the Labor Department's consumer price index revealed more progress in the battle to tame prices, with an underlying inflation measure reaching a three-year low.

2024 NFL schedule release winners, losers: Who got help, and who didn't? |
The NFL's 2024 regular-season schedule has finally dropped – with all the pomp and circumstance only this league can generate for a once-mundane "event." This year's 272-game docket will include a new distribution partner, games played on an unusual day of the week, an international venue making its debut and other oddities – including ESPN carrying four "Monday Night Football" doubleheaders, all but one with kickoffs staggered by 45 minutes. But after we pored through the lineup, a few obvious winners and losers have emerged. Let's take a closer look. |
