BET Digital has permanently removed all its digital news articles from its website to 'prioritize video content,' I'm told. Years of news articles are now gone forever. Some writers were able to save their stories; some weren't

Losing Dolly Parton and Gloria Steinem back-to-back feels like we’re saying goodbye to a whole generation of trailblazers so close to each other.

Gloria Steinem, the activist and trailblazing leader of the second-wave feminist movement, has died. She was 92 years old. Gloria Steinem never gave up the good fight. Despite publishing a dozen books and dedicating decades of her life to feminist advocacy, by the time she reached the age of 92, the feminist icon still feared leaving the Earth mid-battle. “I don’t want to die saying but—” Steinem told in an interview with Vanity Fair earlier this year. “We have the idea that our lives are planned in order to be worthwhile. And that may be true in some cases,” she says, “but I think our ability to respond to and learn from the unexpected is really much more likely to be helpful.” Read the full obituary: vanityfair.visitlink.me/2rgB…
