He was instrumental in popularizing basketball and the NBA, becoming a global cultural icon.

  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  Michael Jordan was born in Brooklyn, New York, on February 17, 1963, but his family moved to Wilmington, North Carolina, in 1968. He played basketball, baseball, and football at Emsley A. Laney High School, initially being deemed too short for the varsity basketball team. 
    
  During his sophomore year of high school, Jordan was only 5 feet 11 inches tall and was cut from the varsity basketball team, but after growing four inches the following summer, he made the team. As a senior, he averaged 26.8 points, 11.6 rebounds, and 10.1 assists per game and was selected for the McDonald's All-American Game. 
    
  Jordan's NBA debut with the Chicago Bulls was on October 26, 1984, where he scored 16 points, and a ticket stub from that game sold for $264,000 in 2021, setting a record for a collectible ticket stub. In his rookie season, he averaged 28.2 points per game and helped the Bulls reach the playoffs for the first time since 1981.

  In order to resolve the significant racial, ethnic, language, and financial inequities that exist in healthcare quality and access, health systems must undertake the development of systematic approaches to advance diversity, inclusion, and health equity.Developed from the data, experience, and research that emerged from ten years of intentional creation of such an approach at Northwell Health, Reigniting the Human Connection: A Pathway to Diversity, Inclusion, and Health Equity offers readers an adaptable framework on which to build their own response. This carefully constructed framework is centered on a holistic vision of care, one that utilizes approaches that support the emergence of patients as partners in their care in order to meet the demands of twenty-first-century healthcare.

  Good Boys Bad Hombres - The...

  Michael V. Singh

  Educational research has long documented the politics of punishment for boys and young men of color in schools—but what about the politics of empowerment and inclusion? In Good Boys, Bad Hombres, Michael V. Singh focuses on this aspect of youth control in schools, asking on whose terms a positive Latino manhood gets to be envisioned. 
   
   
   
  Based on two years of ethnographic research in an urban school district in California, Good Boys, Bad Hombres examines Latino Male Success, a school-based mentorship program for Latino boys. Instead of attempting to shape these boys' lives through the threat of punishment, the program aims to provide an "invitation to a respectable and productive masculinity" framed as being rooted in traditional Latinx signifiers of manhood. Singh argues, however, that the promotion of this aspirational form of Latino masculinity is rooted in neoliberal multiculturalism, heteropatriarchy, and anti-Blackness. 
   
   
   
  Documenting the ways Latino men and boys resist the politics of neoliberal empowerment for new visions of justice, Singh works to deconstruct male empowerment, arguing that new narratives and practices—beyond patriarchal redemption—are necessary for a reimagining of Latino manhood in schools and beyond.
