A controversial, anti-violence activist priest in Chicago who once caught attention for his relationship with former President Barack Obama is under investigation for another sexual abuse of a minor case. The Archdiocese of Chicago announced Saturday that Father Michael Pfleger will be under investigation for a new allegation of sexual abuse of a minor said to have taken place more than 30 years ago, according to a statement. "Father Pfleger has been asked to step aside from ministry and live away from the parish while the allegation is investigated. He has agreed to cooperate fully with this request," Archbishop of Chicago Cardinal Blase J. Cupich said Saturday. The allegation was reported to the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services and law enforcement officials.

‘Purpose’ review: A hilarious and blistering family clash on Broadway

Appropriate,” which snagged last year’s Tony Award for Best Play and “Purpose,” which opened Monday night at the Hayes Theater.His latest firecracker is unstoppably fierce, funny — and ruthless.I howled all the way through Jacobs-Jenkins’ clever and venomous spin on the story: This particular bombshell-littered house belongs to the Jaspers, a powerful black political dynasty whose controversies and scandals come down faster than the blizzard outside their window.If your family is anything like them, I’d recommend emancipation.The salt-and-pepper-haired dad, Solomon (Harry Lennix), is obviously modeled on Jesse Jackson. He does not orate from behind a podium, though, but fumes behind closed doors.This imposing patriarch is also a famous minister and was an activist alongside Martin Luther King Jr. during the Civil Rights Movement.

‘Save the Children,’ Long-Lost ’70s Concert Film With the Jackson 5, Marvin Gaye, Staple Singers and Other Black Superstars, Gets a Netflix Rebirth

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic “Save the Children,” an early ’70s concert film featuring many of that era’s biggest names in Black music, was in need of some saving itself. Although the documentary featured iconic stars like the Jackson 5, Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield and Bill Withers, the movie disappeared completely off the radar after being briefly released to theaters in 1973 by Paramount Pictures, never getting an authorized home-video release, let alone revival screenings.
