Tyler's Law Advances in the United State Senate
ANNANDALE, Va. — I am deeply grateful to Senator Mark Warner for his leadership and support for Tyler’s Law and helping advance the bipartisan legislation through the United States Senate. This represents a critical step forward in helping ensure that hospitals include fentanyl in routine drug screenings, closing dangerous gaps in care that have led to far too many preventable tragedies.
My family knows firsthand how important this change is, and we are thankful for Senator Warner’s commitment to protecting other families from experiencing similar loss. His dedication to addressing the opioid crisis with meaningful, life-saving action gives us hope that lives will be saved in the future.

After days of searching, we received the news that our beloved Neltron Shaw Jr./Seven/ManMan has been found, but not in the way we had prayed for. He is gone, and our family is devastated beyond words.
We want to thank every single person who helped look for him — those who shared posts, joined the search, sent messages, and lifted us up in prayer. Your love, compassion, and support have meant more than we can ever express.
As we begin to process this unimaginable loss, we ask for continued prayers and gentle understanding.

International African American Museum
CHARLESTON, S.C. — The International African American Museum in Charleston, South Carolina, features nine galleries exploring the African diaspora, the transatlantic slave trade, and the enduring contributions of African Americans. Highlights include interactive exhibits, historical artifacts, and the Center for Family History, which offers genealogical resources.
The museum building opened in June 2023 on the historic site of Gadsden’s Wharf, where nearly 40% of enslaved Africans are believed to have entered the United States, and is elevated above ground to honor the sacred site. It is surrounded by the African Ancestors Memorial Garden, a reflective outdoor space that includes a tidal tribute memorial.
