Scottie Scheffler closed with a 5-under 67 to win the Procore Championship for his sixth PGA Tour victory of the year.

The Eagles got the final word during a hotly contested Super Bowl rematch with the Chiefs on Sunday that was intense to the very end.

Tramell Tillman just made Emmy history, and he did it with a smile as unnerving and unforgettable as the character that got him there.At Sunday nights 77th Primetime Emmy Awards, held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, the Severance star won Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for his performance as Seth Milchick, a relentlessly chipper and quietly menacing workplace enforcer in the Apple TV+ psychological thriller.The win was historic on multiple fronts. Tillman, 40, became the first Black actor ever to win in the supporting drama actor category, a distinction no one had achieved in the 77-year history of the Emmy Awards. He is also the first openly gay Black man to ever be nominated for and win the award.A Long Time ComingWhile Severance was a breakout hit in 2022, earning 14 nominations in its debut season, Tillman was notably snubbed. That changed this year, as the series roared back with 27 nominations and industry-wide acclaim for its bold storytelling, emotional weight, and ensemble performances.In a crowded category, Tillmans win surprised some. He beat out fellow Severance castmates John Turturro and Zach Cherry, as well as a formidable lineup that included Walton Goggins, Jason Isaacs and Sam Rockwell (all nominated for The White Lotus) and James Marsden (Paradise).Still, for many Emmy watchers, particularly queer and BIPOC viewers, the moment was long overdue.Tillmans Milchick is unlike any other character on television. Equal parts corporate cheerleader and psychological manipulator, he patrols the halls of Lumon Industries with an unsettling grin and quietly seething control. Its a role that could have easily been one-note. But Tillman brought nuance, intelligence, and a chilling sense of calm to the performance, turning Milchick into one of TVs most talked-about figures.A Seat at the TableTillman now joins an elite group of barrier-breaking Emmy winners. Viola Davis became the first Black woman to win Lead Actress in a Drama in 2015 for How to Get Away with Murder. Billy Porter made history in 2019 as the first openly gay Black man to win Lead Actor in a Drama for Pose.Now, with Tillmans win, the final acting category that had never honored a Black performer has finally been crossed off that list.His words echoed that sentiment onstage Sunday night, where he gave a moving tribute to his mother, whom he credited as his first acting coach. Mama, you were there for me when no one else was, he said. You told me to do the work, show up, and for the love of God, dont embarrass you in public. This is for you.Source

Jill Savitt, President and CEO of the National Center for Civil and Human Rights in Atlanta, leads a hard-hat tour of the expanded museum before its November reopening on Wednesday, Sept. 10, 2025. (AP Photo/Michael Warren)2025-09-15T04:03:07Z ATLANTA (AP) A popular museum in Atlanta is expanding at a critical moment in the United States and unlike the Smithsonian Institution, the National Center for Civil and Human Rights is privately funded, putting it beyond the immediate reach of Trump administration efforts to control what Americans learn about their history.The monthslong renovation, which cost nearly $60 million, adds six new galleries as well as classrooms and interactive experiences, changing a relatively static museum into a dynamic place where people are encouraged to take action supporting civil and human rights, racial justice and the future of democracy, said Jill Savitt, the centers president and CEO.The center has stayed active ahead of its Nov. 8 reopening through K-12 education programs that include more than 300 online lesson plans; a LGBTQ+ Institute; training in diversity, equity and inclusion; human rights training for law enforcement; and its Truth & Transformation Initiative to spread awareness about forced labor, racial terror and other historic injustices. These are the same aspects of American history, culture and society that the Trump administration is seeking to dismantle. Inspiring children to become change agentsDreamed up by civil rights icons Evelyn Lowery and Andrew Young, the center opened in 2014 on land donated by the Coca-Cola Company, next to the Georgia Aquarium and The World of Coca-Cola, and became a major tourist attraction. But ticket sales declined after the pandemic.Now the center hopes to attract more repeat visitors with immersive experiences like Change Agent Adventure, aimed at children under 12. These change agents will be asked to pledge to something no matter how small that reflects the responsibility of each of us to play a role in the world: To have empathy. To call for justice. To be fair, be kind. And thats the ethos of this gallery, Savitt said. It opens next April. I think advocacy and change-making is kind of addictive. Its contagious, Savitt explained. When you do something, you see the success of it, you really want to do more. And our desire here is to whet the appetite of kids to see that they can be involved. They can do it.This ethos is sharply different from the idea that young people cant handle the truth and must be protected from unpleasant challenges but, Savitt said, the history that we tell here is the most inspirational history.In fact, I think its what makes America great. It is something to be patriotically proud of. The way activists over time have worked together through nonviolence and changed democracy to expand human freedom theres nothing more American and nothing greater than that. That is the lesson that we teach here, she said. Encouraging visitors to be hopefulBroken Promises, opening in December, includes exhibits from the post-Civil War Reconstruction era, cut short when white mobs sought to brutally reverse advances by formerly enslaved people. We want to start orienting you in the conversation that we believe we all kind of see, but we dont say it outright: Progress. Backlash. Progress. Backlash. And that pattern that has been in our country since enslavement, said its curator, Kama Pierce.On display will be a Georgia historical marker from the site of the 1918 lynching of Mary Turner, pockmarked repeatedly with bullets, that Turner descendants donated to keep it from being vandalized again. There are 11 bullet holes and 11 grandchildren living, and the familys words will be incorporated into the exhibit to show their resilience, Pierce said.Items from the Morehouse College Martin Luther King Jr. collection will have a much more prominent place, in a room that recreates Kings home office, with family photos contributed by the centers first guest curator: his daughter, the Rev. Bernice King. We wanted to lift up Kings role as a man, as a human being, not just as an icon, Savitt explained.Gone are the huge images of the worlds most genocidal leaders Hitler, Stalin and Mao among others with explanatory text about the millions of people killed under their orders. In their place will be examples of human rights victories by groups working around the world. The research says that if you tell people things are really bad and how awful they are, you motivate people for a minute, and then apathy sets in because its too hard to do anything, Savitt said. But if you give people something to hope for thats positive, that they can see themselves doing, youre more likely to cultivate a sense of agency in people. Fostering a healthy democracyAnd doubling in capacity is an experience many cant forget: Joining a 1960s sit-in against segregation. Wearing headphones as they take a lunch-counter stool, visitors can both hear and feel an angry, segregationist mob shouting they dont belong. Because this is heavy content, Savitt says, a new reflection area will allow people to pause afterward on a couch, with tissues if they need them, to consider what theyve just been through.The centers expansion was seeded by Home Depot co-founder and Atlanta philanthropist Arthur M. Blank, the Mellon Foundation and many other donors, for which Savitt expressed gratitude: The corporate community is in a defensive crouch right now they could get targeted, she said.But she said donors shared concerns about peoples understanding of citizenship, so supporting the teaching of civil and human rights makes a good investment.It is the story of democracy Who gets to participate? Who has a say? Who gets to have a voice? she said. So our donors are very interested in a healthy, safe, vibrant, prosperous America, which you need a healthy democracy to have.

U.S. President Donald Trump inspects a Guard of Honour, formed of the Coldstream Guards at Windsor Castle in Windsor, England, Friday, July 13, 2018. (AP Photo/Matt Dunham, Pool, File)2025-09-15T04:13:04Z LONDON (AP) Windsor Castle staff are setting the 50-meter-long (164-feet-long) mahogany table. Grooms are buffing the hooves of the horses that will pull the royal carriages. And the military honor guard is drilling to ensure every step lands with precision.Throughout the halls and grounds of the almost 1,000-year-old castle west of London, hundreds of people are working to make sure King Charles III puts on the best show possible when he welcomes U.S. President Donald Trump for his historic second state visit this week.The visit, featuring glittering tiaras, brass bands and a sumptuous banquet served on 200-year-old silver, is a display of the pomp and ceremony that Britain does like no one else. But its a spectacle with a purpose: to bolster ties with one of the worlds most powerful men at a time when his America First policies are roiling longstanding trade and security relationships. Were buttering up to him, said Robert Lacey, a royal historian and consultant on the Netflix series The Crown.He wouldnt come to Britain if he wouldnt have the chance to stay at Windsor Castle, probably pay homage to the (late) queen he admires so much, and to meet the king. Soft power in actionThree centuries after Britains kings and queens gave up political power and settled for the role of ceremonial head of state, the royals remain a robust instrument of soft power, which the elected government uses to reward friends and wring concessions out of reluctant allies.State visits are the monarchys ultimate tool, with world leaders vying to get the full royal treatment.During seven decades on the throne, the late Queen Elizabeth II hosted everyone from Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceauescu to South African President Nelson Mandela.The royals have also hosted the last four U.S. presidents, though not all were full-scale state visits. Hospitality with purposeWhile the impact of soft power is hard to quantify, it contributes to a feeling of friendship that may incline another party to be more open to your entreaties, said Martin Farr, an expert in modern British history at Newcastle University.Six years ago, Britain sought Trumps support as it prepared to leave the European Union. This time the U.K. is lobbying for favorable trade terms and help in combating Russian aggression in Ukraine.A new Trump presidency, a new prime minister, a different government, but the same sense of panic and the same feeling that the biggest lever we can pull with this president is to flatter him and to try and connect him with something he seems genuinely to be impressed by, which is monarchy, and the fact that his mother of course was born in Scotland, Farr said.So Prime Minister Keir Starmer hurried to Washington in February, just five weeks after Trump began his second term, and handed him the kings invitation for a state visit.It was the first time any world leader received the honor of a second state visit, and the first time the invitation was delivered in a personal letter from the king, which Trump proudly displayed for TV cameras.Its a great, great honor, and that says at Windsor, Trump said as he praised the king. Thats really something. Pomp and circumstanceThere will be plenty of glitz for a president who has gilded the Oval Office and plans to build a White House ballroom for 650 guests.While the president and first lady Melania Trump will arrive in the U.K. late Tuesday, the meat of the visit begins the next day. After welcoming the Trumps, Charles and Queen Camilla will accompany them on a carriage ride through the Windsor estate, then back to the castle along a path lined by members of the armed forces.Inside the crenellated walls of the castle, which William the Conqueror started building in 1070, a military band will play the national anthems of both countries before Charles and Trump review the guard of honor in scarlet tunics and tall bearskin hats.Hundreds of military personnel will take part in the ceremonies mounted troops, foot guards and musicians after months of rehearsals.When rifles are shouldered, it will come with a single thwack. When boots hit the ground, they will do so in unison. God Save the King and The Star-Spangled Banner will be note-perfect. Highlighting historyAfter the welcoming ceremonies, the Trumps will view an exhibit of documents and artwork put together to highlight the shared history of Britain and the U.S. The palace hasnt said what will be included, but the options are myriad for two countries with common legal and democratic traditions that stretch back to Magna Carta, the historic charter of rights signed in 1215 at Runnymede, just a few miles from Windsor.But the centerpiece of the visit will be Wednesday nights state banquet, where the men will don white ties and tail coats and the women will wear designer gowns and jewels that will sparkle in the flickering light from antique candelabra.The tiaras will be out in force, said Hugo Vickers, a royal historian and author of Alice,' a biography of the late Prince Philips mother. It will all look very splendid.' Dinner for manyThe king and queen will join their guests around the massive Waterloo Table, which is about half the length of a football field and has space for 160 guests. It takes five full days to set the table, which will be laid with the Grand Service, a silver-gilt dining service that includes more than 4,000 pieces ranging from serving dishes to dinner plates and egg cups.Vickers said the silver and ceremonies pave the way for conciliation, which Elizabeth believed was the way to solve even intractable problems.Keir Starmer has, cleverly in a way, used the king to lure President Trump over here, to give him a very good time, he said. And (its) a wonderful opportunity, with all the goodwill that will be engaged at this point, to talk to him and if theres any hope of sorting out Ukraine, etc. This is all a step in the right direction.Those discussions take place Thursday, when Trump and Starmer meet at Chequers, the country estate of British prime ministers.
