Alcohol consumption can lead to a rise in petty crimes as well.  “I think that the liquor stores being placed in minority communities help out with business revenue,” Melanie Martin, a senior political science major from Arlington, VA, said. I believe that these liquor stores act meticulously in placing their stores in]]> https://hunewsservice.com/variety/entertainment/arts/black-image-maker-shan-wallace-selected-for-the-nmwas-women-to-watch/ Thu, 04 Apr 2024 22:10:46 +0000 http://hunewsservice.com/?p=17087  The National Museum of Women in the Arts will debut its Women to Watch collection on April 14th.

On April 1, Shotted commenced its 22nd night of Ramadan Hours. According to Islamic Networks Group, Ramadan is an Islamic Holy Month marked by fasting from dawn to sunset.
