Members of Hillel at University of Georgia and the UGA Black Student Union came together to host the Racial Justice Shabbat on March 26, discussing their experiences as minorities on campus and what they can do to become better allies for underrepresented communities.
The event started with Black Student Union chair Joshua Patton explaining the organization s involvement in the universityâs Black community and ways heâs seen a decline in group participation because of the pandemic. He also explained the adversities Black students face on campus due to feelings of isolation, lack of representation and other factors relating to the minority groupâs overall marginalized presence.Â

When former Steubenville Mayor Domenick Mucci Jr. brought the gavel down on his final City Council meeting, the curtain fell on a career of political involvement that spanned nearly 40 years.
Members of council at the time, January 2018, never formally had the chance to thank him for his service to the city and numerous community organizations they were tied up trying to help residents and businesses navigate through a crisis that left a large portion of the downtown without water for many days.
It’s appropriate, then, that the current City Council recently honored Mucci not just once, but twice during the last several weeks. The first came when council voted to rename Steele Avenue, the location of his family’s longtime business, Mucci Way, and the second happened when members on Feb. 23 presented him with a resolution recognizing his accomplishments.

Until it turned ugly.
In a detailed post on the fraternity’s Instagram account, the group said white supremacists Zoom bombed the event, writing racial slurs in the chat, changing their usernames to invoke racism, playing a KKK song that says “Kill all Black people,” and then running a video clip of Black people being brutalized and murdered.
