Republic Records Removes Word "Urban"
Major record label Republic Records makes a big change in how they handle labeling.
By removing the word "Urban," they plan to remove the current connotation seen as damaging or divisive.
Republic Records' statement also notes that within the music industry, "urban" was historically rooted in the need to label Black music and was not originally deemed as negative.
However over time, the meaning and connotation of “urban” has been used to generalize Black people in many sectors of music.

CONFEDERATE FLAG BANNED BY U.S. MARINES
The directive, which was announced on Friday, details what is prohibited in Marine installations, office buildings and work spaces.
The U.S. Marine Corps on Friday issued detailed directives about removing and banning public displays of the Confederate battle flag at Marine installations with a list that extended to such things as mugs, posters, bumper stickers and more.
"Current events are a stark reminder that it is not enough for us to remove symbols that cause division - rather, we also must strive to eliminate division itself," said by the Commandant of the Marine Corps, General David H. Berger.
