Betye Saar: Reclaiming History Through Art | Savannah News

Betye Saar, the visionary artist who turned discarded objects into symbols of Black power and resilience, died at 99—just days before her 100th birthday. A trailblazer of the 1960s Black Art Movement, she reimagined racist stereotypes like Aunt Jemima as defiant icons of resistance, most famously in her 1972 piece “The Liberation of Aunt Jemima.” Her career spanned painting, sculpture, and assemblage, fueled by Southern California’s vibrant Black art scene and her own fearless reinvention—from design to fine art, into her nineties. Saar’s work not only challenged history but reshaped it, influencing major institutions and mentoring generations. Her legacy lives on in exhibitions, retrospectives, and the very cultural reckoning her art helped ignite. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Beaufort Memorial Hospital is tackling the housing crisis head-on with a $1.3 million project to build 14 one-bedroom apartments for its staff—offering first dibs to employees struggling to afford living near their jobs amid a 15% surge in home prices.

Teen Shooter Planned Attack Online | Savannah News

A chillingly calculated teen shooter, just 14 when he killed four at Apalachee High, idolized mass killers like Nikolas Cruz, obsessively collected his photos, even wrote him a love letter—and planned his attack down to prison prep. Online, he bragged in a True Crime Discord group, warned someone Cruz’s cellmate about the massacre, and penned fake apology letters to victims’ families for notoriety. Though he briefly discussed temporary insanity with his mom, a psychologist confirmed he was legally sane. Now, a judge weighs life with or without parole, while his father—convicted for buying the AR-15—faces sentencing too. This wasn’t madness—it was method.
