New UT exhibit tells untold stories of slaves’ journey to freedom
SUMMARY: The University of Texas museum's new exhibit, Freedom Papers: Evidence of Emancipation, highlights the untold stories of slaves' paths to freedom in Mexico. The exhibit features various documents showcasing how enslaved people, especially women and children, were able to gain their freedom before the Emancipation Proclamation. One featured story is that of Silvia Hector Webber, who was able to gain her freedom and help others find freedom through the Underground Railroad after her family gave up land in exchange. The exhibit also conveys the fragility of freedom and the unique role Texas and Mexico played in the emancipation of slaves. The exhibit is open until June 28 at the Briscoe Center and is free to the public during the week.

SUMMARY: In Texas, residents have observed an unusual rise in fly populations, particularly exacerbated in recent years. The phenomenon, discussed by Central Texans on Reddit, aligns with insights from Texas AgriLife Entomologist Wizzie Brown. She explains that the state's warm climate supports year-round fly activity, with heat accelerating their life cycle, leading to rapid population growth. Climate change is likely worsening the issue, as higher temperatures benefit flies and expand their habitable areas. To manage the infestation, Brown suggests regular trash removal, using outdoor garbage bins, and cleaning these bins with dish soap to eliminate fly-attracting odors.
