Archbishop Desmond Tutu was a mentor, a friend, and a moral compass for me and so many others. A universal spirit, Archbishop Tutu was grounded in the struggle for liberation and justice in his own country, but also concerned with injustice everywhere.

Desmond Tutu will be remembered as one of history’s most compassionate, morally courageous champions of racial justice, truth & reconciliation. He was a personal hero whom I had the privilege of working alongside in the global fight against HIV/AIDS. Rest in peace & power.

The largest Armenian American community marches through Hollywood after Pres Biden declares killing of 1.5 million Armenians by the Ottoman Empire a century ago a genocide. It’s a usually somber event but marchers say this year is mixed with some happiness.

Carolyn Ford is a housekeeper at IP Casino Resort in Mississippi. A couple of weeks after returning to work from furlough, she tested positive for COVID-19. Guests are still required to wear face coverings in the resort's public spaces, but Ford said they often don't.
A quote from Carolyn Ford, a housekeeper at IP Casino Resort in Mississippi. It reads: "They'll come up to your cart without a mask on. It's not safe."

Rosa Leon is a housekeeper at the Hilton Americas-Houston. Since returning from furlough, her workload has increased dramatically. She said she does not drink water on the job because she rarely has the time to use the bathroom. businessinsider.com/cdc-full…
A screenshot taken of the article. It reads: Before the pandemic, there were about 80 housekeepers on staff. Now, there are only 10 working in the hotel, Leon said. The hotel, like many others during COVID-19, adjusted its policies so that cleanings are done less frequently, since consumers may not want a housekeeper to enter their room on a daily basis during the pandemic. But, Leon said, this change in policy has created more work for housekeepers because rooms are in a much worse condition when the time comes to clean them at the end of guests' stays.
