The demonstrators have been accused of attacking police stations and personnel.

An online tour through the history of the Harlem Renaissance prepared by the Artistic Staff of HSA
demonstrates the impact on today’s culture, by the artists who rose to prominence 100 years ago
(Black PR Wire) Harlem, New York – The historic community of Harlem is in the midst of the Centennial Celebration of the Harlem Renaissance, and the Harlem School of the Arts (HSA) through its HSA@Home platform, has tapped into this prolific epoch to create a unique summer experience for young people ages 5 – 18, that captures and brings to life the richness of that transformational movement.
The creative team of HSA directors and teaching artists, have incorporated the story of the Harlem
Renaissance into the organization’s multidisciplinary curriculum, highlighting the important
contributions of African Americans on America’s arts and cultural landscape.
The directors of each department (dance, music, theatre, art, and design), have fused the “rich cross-disciplinary” activities of the Harlem Renaissance, with the excellence of the multidisciplinary training and development that Harlem School of the Arts has become noted for.
HSA is an organization that was founded in response to the plight of Harlem’s social and political unrest of the 1960s, with the idea that enriching the lives of children through the arts would empower them to become creative thinkers and innovative citizens.

The 64-year-old is seen in a video arguing with an unidentified woman until the crowd of young people got agitated with her unsolicited and unprovoked diatribe toward them.
They asked her to remove her car out of the way while a black teen took up for the young woman.
Eric Lucas, the teen on whose face the woman spat, said he was traumatized by this action owing to the Coronavirus pandemic.

FDA has identified the following products manufactured by Eskbiochem:
Consumers who have been exposed to hand sanitizer containing methanol should seek immediate treatment, which is critical for potential reversal of toxic effects of methanol poisoning.
Although all persons using these products on their hands are at risk, young children who accidentally ingest these products and adolescents and adults who drink these products as an alcohol (ethanol) substitute, are most at risk for methanol poisoning.

Two men have been arrested for allegedly creating a Facebook account in the names of the Commissioner General of Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) Mr John Musinguzi Rujoki.
URA said Wednesday that the fake account was being used in an attempt to defraud the public through false promises of jobs and business opportunities with URA.
\"Investigations have unearthed these two individuals and useful potential exhibits including seven used sim cards, four unused sim cards and six original National Identification cards have been recovered from them,\" Mr Ian Rumanyika URA's manager corporate affairs said.
\"A complainant who commenced interactions on April 27, 2020 with this \"fake\" Facebook account in an attempt to reach out to the Commissioner General was instead alarmed when the fraudsters running the fake account promised him a contract with URA for a kick-back of Shs 10, 000,000,\" he added.
So we have dispersed them, that URA crowd,\" Mr Museveni said.
