Kenadie Cobbin-Richardson, executive director of West Side redevelopment nonprofit Nevada Partners, and Tyler Parry, ���ӽ紫ý assistant professor of African American and African Diaspora Studies, have ideas about how to fix Southern Nevada’s affordable housing problem. But — and this is a big but — none of them will work, at least not on their own. Like most forms of inequality, the housing injustice that leads people of color and poor and marginalized populations to be segregated in bad neighborhoods with substandard dwellings doesn’t exist in a vacuum; it’s part of a larger complex of oppression. In less than an hour, Cobbin Richardson and Parry touched on education inequity, mass incarceration, public transportation, rent control, student loan debt, and voting rights. And they were just getting started.

The tiny pink house was pretty much empty. Nevertheless, someone was trying to burglarize it, a caller told 911 well after midnight on a Sunday in Montgomery, Alabama.

Party City is pulling Confederate-themed Halloween costumes after a mother and her two Black children discovered them in a Virginia store.

In Salt Lake City, police officers set a dog on 36-year-old Jeffrey Ryans after responding to a call that he was arguing with his wife. Body-cam footage shows officers cornering him as he exited his backyard, demanding that he “get on the ground” and warning that if he didn’t, he was “going to get bit!” This threat set the stage for the spectacle of violence that soon followed as the officers encouraged the dog to attack a compliant Ryans, mangling his leg for 50 seconds. The animal’s only job in this scenario was to debase, violate and humiliate a Black man the officers presumed to be guilty.
