Dear reader, 

Congratulations on surviving another semester! While you’re (hopefully) enjoying a much-welcome break from academics, you can kick back with The Uproar’s newest dose of student media and enjoy the summer weather that’s already underway. And reading The Uproar is now more exciting than ever, because we’re back to print issues! I’d like to highlight our recently hired layout editor, Rianna Timothee, for her hard work in making this happen. Now, a preview of what’s in store for this issue: 

Reporter Katelyn McCormick writes on the “My Southside” exhibition at the CSU archives with insight from photographer Kenny Gray about his artistic process.  

Providing details on Atlanta’s “Hands Off!” protest that took place in early April is copy editor Katherine Nalls, who offers context about the organizing group and the lead-up to national mobilization. 

Evie Smith, reporter, discusses Georgia’s recently proposed House Bill 441, which concerns increased criminalization of abortions as well as the attribution of personhood to unborn fetuses. Smith’s second article for the May issue concerns the social significance of the Tate brothers’ return to the US. 

Opinion writer Janae Chappell presents a piece on the impact and significance of Black culture in America and on social media. In a second article, she puts forth a critique of Donald Trump’s varied controversial and criminal actions in his presidency. 

That’s all we have for this month. Thank you, reader, for taking a look through the (perhaps digital) pages of our student newspaper.
