One moose and more than 50 cattle have died of anthrax in the past month in south-central Wyoming, officials confirmed Wednesday. Anthrax occurs naturally in soil but has not been documented in Wyoming in livestock since the 1970s and in wildlife since 1956. No humans have been infected, according to the Wyoming Department of Health.

The Lens

During my childhood, when my family visited relatives “across the river,” in Bayou Plaquemine, Bayou Goula, Caddo, the Pointe, and White Castle, my siblings and I would sometimes race up and down the levees, some distance away from the cows grazing there. At the summit of the hill, you could see the Mississippi River waters through stands of trees and brush. It never occurred to me that our “playground” was the living testimony of Black men, prisoners of the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola whom the state of Louisiana had re-enslaved in the convict leasing system.

Here we (could) go again.. After making a second landfall in South Carolina, Debby weakened to a tropical storm and now located close to Charlotte, North Carolina. Despite the downgrade, the storm remains a threat, bringing heavy rainfall and tornado watches across North Carolina. Tragically, Debby has claimed six lives, including two in Georgia. Although Debby will soon lose its tropical characteristics, the risk of flooding and tornadoes persists as it moves into other states.

Gun safety advocates representing nonprofits, law enforcement, and mental health specialists met Thursday morning in a Georgia Senate committee studying gun safety to discuss the urgent need to pass laws protecting young people in the wake of Wednesday’s deadly school shooting in Barrow County.

Advanced Placement African American studies will be offered in Georgia high schools with state funding, Superintendent Richard Woods said Tuesday, but some members of both political parties are still wondering why there was ever any question.

Georgia schools chief reverses African American studies ‘mistake’

Since my first interactions with the Wyoming Legislature in 2022, I’ve watched it transform into something I barely recognize — a political circus far removed from the everyday lives of Wyomingites like me. Instead of addressing the issues that matter to our state, many of our elected officials seem more interested in national political narratives, driven by social media and the allure of sound bites over substance. This obsession with outside issues has turned Wyoming politics into a performance, where fear-mongering is used as campaign fodder, distracting from the real work we need to do for our state.

Wyoming’s political stage has gone from governance to circus act

On the eve of Vice President Kamala Harris’ rally in Savannah, students at the state’s oldest historic Black university launched a voter registration campaign. It’s a sign of Coastal Georgia’s enthusiasm about the possibility of electing the first Black woman to the White House.

Boone County, KY

As an educator in the Boone County Public School district, I am passionate about public education. I began my career as an English teacher at Boone County High School in 1998, and it quickly became my home. It is where I belong. Over these years I have watched our district grow, and my proudest moments are walking into our school commons each day and seeing the diversity of students and their diversity of interests. I have been fortunate to teach future carpenters, doctors, judges, and plumbers. I have watched my students start their own salons, trucking, car repair, and other small businesses. I have watched thousands of students leave our campus and become successful, thriving adults.
