Anti-racist message
During the last weekend in June, a group of volunteers led by Sedrick E. Huckaby, UTA associate professor of art and art history, painted an anti-racism message onto a downtown Fort Worth street, The Dallas Morning News reported. The words “END RACISM NOW” were painted in black and white over all lanes of traffic in the 800 block of Main Street, immediately north of the Fort Worth Convention Center.
Holiday COVID-19 spikes
Erin Carlson, UTA associate clinical professor and director of graduate public health programs in the College of Nursing and Health Innovation, said that Memorial Day weekend likely caused the latest rise in North Texas’ COVID-19 cases, the Dallas Observer reported. That fact doesn't bode well following the July 4 holiday weekend, she said.
