🧵 Last week, I traveled to rural Newbern, Alabama, a predominately Black town of about 275 people.
In 2020, Patrick Braxton became the first Black mayor after being the only one to submit the qualifying paperwork. For three years, he's suffered harassment and intimidation.

Hi, national health reporter @margoasnipe here. I’ve spent a year investigating how Georgia’s maternal care system is failing Black residents and found that the state’s rural Black communities have been ignored for decades, making deliveries dangerous. capitalbnews.org/dangerous-d…

A 36-year-old white man was arrested for killing a 13-year-old Black child in Columbus, OH. After he told the police he shot Sinzae Reed in self-defense, the charges against him were dismissed. Months later, the shooter remains free. capitalbnews.org/sinzae-reed…
We’ve done a lot at @capitalbnews in 2022, and have much more planned for 2023, so we’re taking the rest of the year off to recharge. Before I go: If you want to see Black press continue to thrive, help us reach our fundraising goal by becoming a member! checkout.fundjournalism.org/…

After @EmoryMidtown fired four nurses for “unprofessional” comments in a Tik Tok video, Black people who gave birth there began sharing their traumatic experiences in the labor and delivery unit. @CapitalB_ATL.
