A statue commemorating York, an enslaved Black member of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, was defaced this week in Portland, Oregon. A plaque describing York had also been spray-painted over and then removed, leaving behind a blank square framed in purple. The bust mysteriously appeared in February on a pedestal in a park in Southeast Portland where a statue of Harvey Scott, a well-known conservative and longtime editor of The Oregonian who opposed women’s suffrage, stood until it was torn down.

The victim was found on Railroad Avenue around 2 a.m. Wednesday by York Police Department officers and later died at a Rock Hill hospital.

The Duchess of York has spoken out against "horrifying" plans for a new Amazon-style warehouse in the countryside which involves felling dozens of trees she has cherished since childhood. Sarah Ferguson, 61, said trees in the village of Drummer, Hants, had encouraged her love of nature as a child while growing up on a farm and were the inspiration for her children's book 'The Enchanted Oak Tree', which was published last year. But under proposals already given the green light by Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council, an area of land will be "brutally chopped down" for a 220,000 square-metre distribution hub thought to be used by the online giant Amazon. In total, 67 mature oaks, three Grade A mature beech trees, plus 13 other oak trees - all of which support 2,300 species of wildlife - will be wiped out. Calling for the plans to be halted before building work can begin, Ms Ferguson said: "Even now at 61, and as a new grandmother, I have the most vivid and happy memories of growing up on a farm in Dummer, near Basingstoke. "I remember my father telling me always to recognise and be grateful for the beauty of our surroundings, a lesson I have carried into adulthood and passed on to my own daughters.

The Duke of York has been quietly or publicly removed as patron of almost 50 organisations, The Telegraph can reveal, despite his expressed intention to one day return to public life. The proportion of his charities and organisations, thought to be at least one in four, that opted to sever ties with the Duke following his friendship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, underlines the scale of the damage to his reputation. Many, particularly those working with children, felt it was “no longer appropriate” to continue their associations with him. Others said they were determined to find a representative “better suited” to their aims and values. When the Duke, 61, announced on Nov 20 2019 that he was “stepping back from public duties for the foreseeable future” following the furore over his disastrous Newsnight interview, many of his charities found themselves in a difficult position. Board meetings were called, frantic phone calls made. Several took the decision to end their association with immediate effect. They included the Royal National Institute for the Deaf, the Golf Foundation, the Children’s Foundation, the Outward Bound Trust and the British Science Association. The Royal Navy and Royal Marines Children’s Fund said: “We felt that as a children's charity it was not appropriate for him to remain patron.” Other organisations such as Berkshire County Cricket Club, the Society for Nautical Research, the Association of Leading Visitor Attractions and Whitgift School in Croydon, also severed ties.

“Any work done using Mastriano is built upon poor, false research,” Gregory wrote. “The issue is not about a few meters’ difference between the two sites,” said Dutch journalist Stephan van Meulebrouck, who has written about the York site controversy. In early March, he made a nearly identical complaint to the University of New Brunswick, where the York research figured prominently in Mastriano's doctoral studies. The 59 pages of footnotes in Mastriano’s book cite — more than 150 times — York's 1928 pseudo-autobiography. Mastriano dismissed doubters in a September 2018 speech at the National WWI Museum and Memorial in Kansas City, Missouri.

Grigoris Argeros, associate professor of sociology, and Natalie Dove, associate professor of psychology, said the two ZIP codes vary by race, ethnicity and socioeconomic status relative to the rest of Washtenaw County. Nearly 70% of Blacks in the county reside in these two ZIP codes, compared to 23% of whites, 13% of Asians and 37% of Hispanics, according to the professors' written report. Lower education achievement, the professors wrote, may be related to several variables which explain the higher amounts of COVID-19 cases. “But when we take into consideration population size, then the numbers reverse.”Knowing there are disparities in just two Washtenaw County ZIP codes, Argeros and Dove said they now seek how it can be fixed. Their report suggests community leaders consider both structural and psychological variables when considering intervention approaches in those ZIP codes.
