After admittedly misidentifying the ostensibly anti-Semitic group protesting outside Barclays Center on Sunday, Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving denied supporting a sect of the Black Hebrew Israelite movement.

In 1906, she took the name of her third husband, Charles Joseph Walker, and launched Madam C.J. Walker, one of the first black haircare products. She was a key figure in the Harlem Renaissance and a founding member of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). In 1919, Walker died of kidney disease at the age of 51.
