Mental health is one of the biggest pandemic issues we ll face in 2021

(CNN) With progress in efforts for COVID-19 vaccines and predictions for when the population will receive them, there seems to be a light at the end of the long, harrowing pandemic tunnel. As the physical risks are better managed with vaccines, however, what will likely still remain is the indelible impact of the pandemic weighing on the collective psyche.

Reflecting on the pioneers who desegregated UGA 60 years ago

History was made on Jan. 6, 1961, when U.S. District Judge William Bootle ordered the University of Georgia to admit Hamilton Holmes and Charlayne Hunter, the first two Black students in UGA’s then 176-year history. In 2019, while the U.S. Census Bureau reported that Black people made up more than a third of the state’s population, just over 8% of the university’s student body was Black, according to the UGA Fact Book.  In the aftermath racial justice protests and a historic election, the 60th anniversary of the desegregation at UGA is a reminder of how far the university has come, and how much progress still remains.
