Brian provides another account of ICE's activities in C-U, and how our friends, family, and neighbors are affected. 

Nicole reflects on the current migration crisis and its impacts on children far from the Southern U.S. border.

Andrew reminds us that C-U is a pretty great place to live.

Nicole thinks about school violence through the lens of Childish Gambino's blockbuster music video “This Is America,” and offers key questions that might help us reduce youth-involved violence across Champaign-Urbana this summer.

With Spark closing and the Orpheum looking ahead to the next 25 years, we ponder the possibility of a truly great children's museum.

We hear of ICE in big cities, but in C-U, immigration arrested two men at Siam Terrace on Main Street in downtown Urbana, a supposed “Sanctuary City.” 

We think Champaign-Urbana needs better public art.

Nicole surveyed UIUC alums and leaders in the Champaign-Urbana community to learn how Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s death and legacy informs their personal and professional lives today.

Nicole drops by the 15th screening of Racial Taboo at First Mennonite Church in Urbana to reflect on the the film's continued relevance for Champaign County.
