Public Health Improvements Stall Amid Trump’s DEI Crackdown

A $19.8 million EPA grant aimed at improving environmental health in Thomasville's Dewey City neighborhood was revoked under Trump's second presidency due to a crackdown on DEI programs. The grant, part of a $2 billion Biden-era initiative, was intended to address aging infrastructure and contaminants in a historically Black community. Environmental advocates argue the decision undermines public health for marginalized populations.
