You know the dress. The iconic ivory silk taffeta gown worn by a young Jacqueline Bouvier in her wedding to Senator John F. Kennedy. It was a national sensation. But do you know the artist who created it? Her name was Ann Lowe. A Black couturier of unparalleled talent, she dressed the who's who of American high society—the Rockefellers, the Roosevelts, the du Ponts. Yet, for most of her career, she remained "society's best-kept secret," forced to use service entrances and rarely receiving public

2025/09/21

Here in the United States, our debate around hate speech is often trapped in a binary. On one side, free speech absolutism, citing the First Amendment as an inviolable shield for even the most vile language. On the other, a desperate call for change, met with the daunting question: "But how? And at what cost?" We treat this tension as a uniquely American problem. But what if one of our closest allies, a nation that has stared into the deepest abyss of its own history, has already built a framework

How does a single act of brutality change the course of a nation? On the new episode of #TreysTable, I’m diving into one of the most pivotal yet overlooked stories in American history: the blinding of Sgt. Isaac Woodard. In 1946, just hours after being honorably discharged from serving in WWII, the Black army sergeant was still in uniform when he was brutally beaten and blinded by South Carolina police. His "crime"? Asking to use the restroom. This story is a devastating chapter in the long history
