Ukraine’s Zelenskyy arrives in South Africa for state visit following Trump’s renewed criticism

SUMMARY: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrived in South Africa for a state visit amid accusations from U.S. President Donald Trump that Zelenskyy is prolonging the war by rejecting a peace deal involving Ukrainian territory. While Zelenskyy traveled, a Russian missile and drone attack on Kyiv killed nine people and injured 63. Peace talks have stalled, with limited progress made during discussions in London. Zelenskyy will meet with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, who has sought to mediate the conflict, although his efforts have had little success. Zelenskyy questioned Russia’s commitment to peace after a failed ceasefire attempt.

Lakeland Park may be renamed after civil rights activist

SUMMARY: Lakeland Park may soon be renamed Meline Brooks Park in honor of the influential civil rights activist and NAACP member, Meline Brooks. She played a vital role in ending segregation in the 1960s, organized sit-ins, and fought for voter registration, often involving her children in her activism. Brooks was the first Black matron hired by the Polk County Sheriff’s Office and successfully sued for racial and sexual discrimination. Her daughter and other community members have campaigned for this name change over nine years, and a resolution will be voted on at the next city commission meeting as a tribute to Brooks’ legacy.

Community members and family advocate for renaming a local park in honor of Madalynne Brooks, a key figure in the civil rights movement in Polk County.
