On this day in 1928, a levee broke during a Florida hurricane, killing thousands of Black farmworkers. Black victims were denied proper burials—their bodies were stacked in piles and burned. calendar.eji.org/racial-inju…

ALT Kyra Woods, policy advisor for the city of Chicago, hands out sensors to volunteers who will attach a sensor to their car and drive established routes in the city. The sensor can record temperature, humidity and location. The data are then used to create a detailed map of urban heat pockets in the city.
