A step in the right direction. I think about all that important activism by the #BLACKatBLS students over a decade ago. But, we also must keep pushing to make sure BLS's diversity eventually reflects the Boston Public Schools (and not just the city). bostonglobe.com/2026/08/12/m…

A 97-year-old British woman successfully broke her own world record for being the oldest female wing walker.
The wing walk was a fundraiser for Cheltenham General Hospital’s stroke unit, where she spent time after suffering a stroke last year, BBC reported.
Luke’s fight against leukemia is heartbreaking. Every little bit helps ease the financial burden on his family during this tough time. Please consider donating or sharing their story to support them in this fight. Thank you for your kindness. gofund.me/23fc5442c
