## Claims Obama hasn't paid Black contractors who worked on library are missing key context
Amid the opening of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago, online rumors claimed that the former president's foundation "stiffed" Black and minority contractors who worked on the project.
The truth is far more complicated than the claims suggest. Court filings reveal deep disputes, bankruptcies and allegations of racial discrimination. But the finger-pointing is happening between contractors and subcontractors, making it difficult to determine how much blame lies with the Obama Foundation, if any.
Snopes reporter Rae Deng broke down everything we know so far.

## How KKK leader's unlikely friendship with family he harassed led him to Judaism
In the early 1990s, Larry Trapp, a KKK grand dragon, began harassing a Jewish family in Nebraska. Instead of fighting back, Michael Weisser responded to his attacks with compassion, calling Trapp weekly.
What followed was an unlikely friendship that led Trapp to move into the Weisser home and convert to Judaism. Snopes reporter Anna Rascouët-Paz uncovers how hatred turned into healing.

Warning
Almost all the messages that arrive here are garbage! Resist the urge to click on any unexpected or questionable links.
It may happen that e-mail will claim to come from liamon.com, perhaps from some administrative role or process. There are no users with liamon.com addresses that should be sending anyone e-mail. There are no accounts to expire. There are no passwords to leak. These are certainly garbage messages. These are certainly phishing attempts in some messages.
Absolutely ignore those links!
