Mellody Hobson exits the LA28 Olympic committee to focus on her new museum, leaving activists disappointed she won’t champion community voices. Meanwhile, a landmark lawsuit seeks to return a Nazi-looted Renaissance masterpiece to Holocaust survivors’ heirs under new California law, with proceeds funding local survivors.
