By Adam Bradley| The New York Times Verified LAST SPRING, DURING the Broadway revival of " Appropriate " (2013), Branden Jacobs-Jenkins's sardonic drama about white family members returning to their ancestral plantation home in southeast Arkansas to bury their father, a rare moment of cross-racial candor transpired - not onstage but in the audience. In the third act, Bo, the middle-aged older brother played by Corey Stoll, unleashes a rant about the burdens of whiteness in 21st-century America.

By Adam Bradley, D’Angelo Lovell Williams| The New York Times Verified THE R&B SINGER-SONGWRITER Muni Long has a voice that people say could sing the dictionary and they'd still listen. In 2007, as a teen growing up in Gifford, Fla., she put that claim to the test, recording a five-minute YouTube clip in which she sings from Webster's II New Riverside Dictionary ("aardvark, aardwolf, Aaron ...") to the tune of Fergie's "Glamorous" (2006). That playful stunt, along with a handful of covers, caught the attention of Capitol Records.
