The Danville riot of 1883 : its effect on politics in Virginia

Dr. Richard L. Morton, a Virginia historian who lived in the early twentieth century, wrote, the recrudescence of the race question has occurred in Virginia politics only in times of political stress, when the negro vote has been necessary to keep certain elements in power.

Who Will Help Children? Building Brain Regimes

“Why can’t we organize public–private partnerships to protect and to nurture the brains of our children?” In this Perspective, William Tate IV makes the case for constructing brain regimes—public–private partnerships designed to nurture and support the healthy development of children. Illuminating the ways in which communities and schools shape individual outcomes in Missouri, he offers seven evidence-based recommendations for fostering brain development and positive outcomes. Who Will Help Children? Building Regional Brain Regimes is based in part on “Beyond Education Triage: Building Brain Regimes in Metropolitan America,” Chapter 11 in Facing Segregation: Housing Policy Solutions for a Stronger Society. This Perspective is adapted from an address given during Facing Segregation: Building Strategies in Every Neighborhood, the 2019 annual conference of the Metropolitan St. Louis Equal Housing and Opportunity Council, on April 12, 2019, at Central Baptist Church, St. Louis, Missouri. The Perspective is presented through a partnership between the Center for Social Development and the council

Heat Trap: How to treat Vehicular Hyperthermia in Children

Vehicular hyperthermia is an uncommon but preventable cause of heat stroke in young children. As children are placed out of sight in the back seat of vehicles, the incidence of deaths due to vehicular hyperthermia has increased. Young children trapped in hot vehicles may present with heat stroke. They have core body temperatures of greater than 100 degrees F and have neurologic dysfunction. Acute management primarily requires cardiovascular resuscitation for dehydration or shock and rapid cooling
