     This year’s 29th Annual Children’s Diagnostic & Treatment Center Thanksgiving Basket Brigade Presented by Amazon took place on Sunday, November 21. Dedicated volunteers and community and business leaders personally delivered “Thanksgiving Baskets,” complete with a frozen turkey and all the traditional fixings, to 1,200 pre-registered CDTC families in Broward County who are currently caring for a child with special healthcare needs.

     The appointment is historic as it marks the first time a Black woman has sat at the helm of the company in its 82-year history. Rollé has dedicated her entire career to using the arts as a form of creative expression. She used the life lessons she’s learned through dance—which she started at the age of 8—to navigate every chapter of her journey.

      The justice system worked, in the Ahmaud Arbery case after 74 days, because it was forced and pushed to do its job. There is very little to be satisfied with from the judicial system, when two District Attorneys, Jackie Johnson and George Barnhill, have worked with one of the suspects on a daily basis, and they prevented the police from doing their job. Former District Attorney Jackie Johnson has been charged with breaking her oath, but for 74 days the entire Glynn County was not executing their responsibilities.

 Republicans, once the party of Lincoln, have slowly evolved into a syndicate. They’ve become power thirsty, money craving individuals masquerading as politicians. Also, they’ve mastered the art of feeding red meat rhetoric laced with symbolisms of racism. These tactics are used  by them to  raise millions to remain in power. Recently, Republican governor Greg Abbott of Texas tweeted his dismay towards Biden’s nonexistence red meat policy.

      As experts predict another surge of coronavirus, Senators Marco Rubio and Tim Scott should help prevent the next pandemic, specifically by investing more government resources into cultivated-meat development. For those who don’t know, cultivated meat is grown from animal cells, without slaughter. Since livestock are removed the process, the risk of zoonotic diseases making the leap to humans is eliminated.
