    ‘Our resistance and resilience’: Celebrating Black history at Tindley Temple

    Amid the fight to maintain exhibits about enslaved people at the President’s House Site, congregants gathered Saturday at Tindley Temple United Methodist Church — a site with significant history of its own — to celebrate Black History Month.

    “We are celebrating Black history because it’s not just cultural, it is protective,” said John T. Brice, lead pastor at the church in South Philadelphia. “When there is pressure to erase or water down our story, remembering becomes our resistance and resilience.”

    Congregants watch a video of Rev. Jesse Jackson at the Citywide Black History Celebration at Tindley Temple United Methodist Church on South Broad Street in Philadelphia on Saturday, Feb. 21, 2026. Tindley is where “We Shall Overcome,” an anthem of the Civil Rights Movement, was written.

    Tindley Temple United Methodist Church was founded by the Rev. Charles Albert Tindley, writer of an early version of the civil rights anthem “We Shall Overcome.”

    For Brice, the nation’s story can be told in full only if it includes the contributions, struggles, and leadership of Black Americans not only in February, but every month of the year.

    “Our contributions are too often minimized or left out of textbooks, public policy, and even Fifth and Market,” the site of the President’s House slavery exhibits that were removed earlier this month, Brice said. Many of the displays have been restored while litigation continues.

    Timothy Welbeck, director of the Center for Anti-Racism at Temple University, said remembering painful history is a way of honoring the contributions of ancestors.

    “In the birthplace of America, it is important to acknowledge that the first family owned people,” Welbeck said. “It’s important to honor this legacy because we had to fight for our humanity to be recognized. To tell America’s story completely, you have to acknowledge that history.”

    Philadelphia-born Shakara Wilson-Fernandez, 22, sees the acknowledgment of Tindley’s contributions as a way of empowering younger generations.

    “It warms my heart,” Wilson-Fernandez said Saturday during the service at the church.

    “There are many things going on right now, and although not all of us might be Black, we all need empowerment.”

    PJ Thomas agreed. To her, celebrating Black history in 2026 feels like celebrating and honoring the diversity of the country she loves.

    “Despite what’s going on, we are still the United States of America,” Thomas said.

    “We are still a country that celebrates our people’s history, the people that came through immigration and the people forced to come in distress, because we are all American and we all build this country together.”

  • Measles exposure in a Delaware children’s hospital emergency room

    Measles exposure in a Delaware children’s hospital emergency room

    People visiting the emergency room at Nemours Children’s Hospital in Wilmington on Wednesday might have been exposed to measles, according to the Delaware Division of Public Health.

    Officials are working on contact tracing to notify those who could be affected, and to verify their vaccination status, provide educational resources, and recommend quarantine if needed.

    A highly contagious illness, measles can infect 90% of exposed unvaccinated people. Delaware residents can check their vaccine status at the DelVAX Public Portal or through their healthcare provider.

    The Delaware Division of Public Health recommends a dose of the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine within 72 hours of exposure. Pharmacies and primary care providers can help access the vaccine.

    As an airborne virus, measles can be spread through coughs, sneezes, and saliva particles. Those particles can linger in the air and nearby surfaces for more than two hours, exposing anyone who might have been in the room.

    Officials urge people to keep a 21-day watch on their symptoms — which could include high fever, cough, runny nose, and a red rash — until March 11.

    Measles can be particularly dangerous for immunocompromised people, such as organ-transplant and chemotherapy patients, people living with HIV/AIDS, and children under 5.

    No matter their vaccination status, pregnant people who might have been exposed are encouraged to go to the emergency room as soon as possible for a checkup and possible treatment.

    Delaware is not the only state dealing with a measles comeback.

    Last week, a possible measles exposure was detected at Philadelphia International Airport. And on Feb. 5, five cases were confirmed in Lancaster County, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Health. All patients were young adults and school-age children, marking the first outbreak of the year.

    Meanwhile, South Carolina is currently dealing with a large outbreak that doctors call the worst in 30 years, Reuters reported.

    The illness can lead to pneumonia, brain infection, and death. Of every 1,000 children infected with measles, between one and three will die, according to the Philadelphia Department of Public Health.

    People who have been vaccinated, those who have already had measles, or were born before 1957 are considered immune.

  • ‘Justice, finally’: Family and friends remember Iriana DeJesus

    ‘Justice, finally’: Family and friends remember Iriana DeJesus

    Lizasuain DeJesus, 65, had received many calls from Philadelphia homicide Detective Joseph Bamberski since her daughter Iriana disappeared in 2000. But Thursday’s call was different: He was calling to tell her that the police had made an arrest in Iriana’s case.

    DeJesus called her daughter Iyanna Vazques, 34, to deliver the news. “It was like a weight lifted off my shoulders,” Vazques said. She was 8 years old when her little sister disappeared, the week of her birthday.

    “I lost my best friend and I remember it like it was yesterday,” Vazques said. She could recall what her sister was wearing and how her hair was done the day she disappeared. An arrest in the case felt “like a dream,” she added.

    Iriana DeJesus was playing outside her home on the 3900 block of North Fairhill Street on July 29, 2000, when she went missing. She was 5 years old.

    A family friend told police at the time she saw Iriana walking with a stranger.

    The Daily News covers the announcement of Alexis Flores as the suspect in Iriana DeJesus’ murder in March 2007.

    On Aug. 3, 2000, her body was found covered by a green trash bag. Iriana had been raped and strangled to death about a block from her home, in a second-floor apartment above a vacant store on the 3900 block of North Sixth Street.

    At the time, police described the perpetrator as a “drifter,” but not much else was known about him.

    Authorities launched a national manhunt. But it was not until March 2007 that federal officials issued a warrant for the arrest of Alexis Flores. He had been identified through a DNA database that allowed investigators to name him as a suspect years after a November 2004 arrest on a felony forgery charge in Phoenix.

    On Thursday, FBI Director Kash Patel announced Flores had been apprehended.

    “After more than 25 years on the run, this arrest proves time and distance do not shield violent offenders from justice,” Patel wrote on social media.

    Flores was detained on Wednesday in Honduras, Fox News reported. He was wanted for crimes including unlawful flight to avoid prosecution, murder, kidnapping, and indecent assault in connection with the Iriana DeJesus case, according to the FBI.

    Vazques said she is choosing to focus on the love their community has provided over the long years of not knowing what happened.

    “We are always going to be from this block,” DeJesus said. “These people are the reason I’m still strong, because a lot of them never gave up on us, on my baby.”

    DeJesus said she still sees Iriana in many corners of her block, in the faces of little girls with pigtails playing outside, and it gives her hope. “Iriana, I love you and I will never stop loving you; you will always be in my heart.”

    Lizasuain DeJesus (right) is with her daughter Iyanna Vazques, surrounded by friends and family, following a balloon release in memory of her daughter Iriana.

    Zoraida Reyes, 65, still remembers the frenzy her Hunting Park neighborhood lived through when Iriana disappeared.

    “She was a beautiful girl, happy, calm; we went mad looking for her,” Reyes said. Since then, the neighborhood has changed, she said. But people still support one another, and Iriana was never forgotten.

    On Sunday, as about 100 neighbors gathered at Sixth and Pike Streets for a balloon release in Iriana’s memory, Vazques and DeJesus felt grateful. “There is nothing that will beat this feeling,” DeJesus said, as neighbors lined up to hug her. A picture of Iriana in her pigtails, with a bright smile was handed to attendees with a message: “Justice, finally.”

    Vasques, wearing a matching Eagles shirt and hat, held on to a necklace with a now-faded picture of Iriana that her mom gave her in the ninth grade.

    “I don’t take it off, it’s my everything,” Vazques said. “It reminds me of how much of a sweet soul she was.”

    Iyanna Vazques wears a locket with a faded photo of her sister Iriana DeJesus during a balloon release in her memory Sunday, Feb. 15, 2026. Five-year-old Iriana was kidnapped and killed in 2000. A man has been arrested in the case after two decades on the FBI’s most-wanted list.

  • A 9-year-old is hospitalized after a hit-and-run in West Philadelphia

    A 9-year-old is hospitalized after a hit-and-run in West Philadelphia

    A 9-year-old boy remains hospitalized after being hit by a car in West Philadelphia that fled the scene, police said.

    The child was walking in the 800 block of South 56th Street, around 12:22 p.m. Saturday, when a driver in a 2010–2013 Honda Crosstour struck him, police said.

    He sustained several injuries and was transported to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, where he was in stable condition as of Sunday afternoon.

    Police are now looking for the driver — a man they describe has having short hair and a beard, around the ages of 25 to 35 — in a burgundy Honda Crosstour with a black passenger-side fender, a green passenger-side front door, a white passenger-side rear door, and a bicycle rack on the roof.

    Anyone with information can contact the police Crash Investigation Division.

  • Southwest Philly-raised Raina J. León is the city’s new poet laureate

    Southwest Philly-raised Raina J. León is the city’s new poet laureate

    Norma Thomas had been keeping a secret since mid-January. At Saturday’s Passing the Pen ceremony, she was ready to shout it from the Central Library rooftop:

    “My daughter, Raina León, is the poet laureate of Philadelphia,” Thomas said, chest puffed out and brimming with pride. “She is effervescent, outgoing, and loves the city of Philadelphia.”

    Raina J. León, 44, was one of 32 applicants citywide, the largest number of candidates the city has had for the role, said Adam Feldman, the Free Library of Philadelphia department head of art and literature, and a poet laureate governing committee member.

    Born in Upper Darby, León is a Black, Afro Boricuan poet, writer, educator, and cultural worker raised in Southwest Philadelphia. She speaks English, Spanish, and Italian, and believes in a world where diversity can strengthen communities.

    Still unable to believe her achievement, the University of Southern Maine professor recalled lighting candles nervously, hoping to get the email bearing the news.

    “I keep thinking, ‘Maybe this isn’t my time,’” León said. “But, no, DéLana would want me to dream big and to walk on assurance of my voice having a space,” she added, remembering her late friend, the poet DéLana R.A. Dameron, who died in November.

    Creating a space where people feel that their voices are welcome is the legacy León wants to leave during her two-year tenure as poet laureate.

    An extract from Raina León’s poem “you don’t own the penthouse.”

    The poet laureate is an ambassador for poetry in the city, participating in community engagement, speaking at events, and mentoring the youth poet laureate, Rashawn Dorsey. But what excites León the most is helping Philadelphians see storytelling as a liberating practice.

    “Poetry is all around you. Even if you are like, ‘I don’t understand poetry’ — it understands you,” León said. “In these times of great volatility, with attacks on history and attacks on communities, there is a desire to preserve oneself by becoming numb, and poetry says, ‘No, you can’t be numb in life. You can’t be numb and observe the world.’”

    The poet laureate role comes with a $5,000 stipend, paid in two installments. But León says she isn’t in it for the money. She wants to provide language access to amplify Philadelphia’s diverse community of voices.

    She plans on holding open hours once a month at the Central Library of the Free Library for people to work on writing with her. For those who cannot come in person, León also wants to do online workshops.

    More importantly, she wants to work on writing projects across multiple languages, including American Sign Language, to ensure diversity opens doors in Philadelphia.

    “It’s like Bad Bunny said during the ‘Benito Bowl,’ what matters is that we are alive and we should be pouring [love] into one another and caring for one another,” León said. “Only love counters hate, and that is a revolutionary thing that is activating this, something that changes and pushes back on the nihilistic threat.”

  • Strip club shooter sentenced for killing a Good Samaritan, prosecutors say

    A Trenton man was sentenced to up to 60 years in Pennsylvania state prison for fatally shooting a bystander at a Morrisville strip club.

    On Friday, Pedro E. Rodriguez, 29, pleaded guilty to third-degree murder, discharging a firearm into an occupied structure, possession of an instrument of crime, and four counts of recklessly endangering another person in the killing of 28-year-old Mekhi Norman in August 2024.

    According to the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office, Norman was shot at a Morrisville nightclub while acting as a Good Samaritan. He did not know Rodriguez but was helping the club’s staff following an altercation at the doorway.

    Surveillance video shown during the sentencing hearing shows Rodriguez walking to his car, getting a handgun, loading it, and returning to the club, according to a district attorney’s office statement. Then, he fired into the building as security staff were attempting to remove his nephew, according to the statement.

    Norman, who was helping the staff when he was shot, was struck in the back of the head, the left thigh, and under both armpits, as 17 patrons and employees remained at the club.

    Rodriguez fled but later turned himself in and was held on $5 million bail at the Bucks County Correctional Facility. He now faces between 30 and 60 years in state prison.

    Rodriguez’s nephew, 22-year-old Kevin Perez, entered a guilty plea in 2025 to several counts of simple assault, disorderly conduct, and harassment for assaulting staff. The Trenton resident was sentenced to 10 to 23 months in the Bucks County Correctional Facility, followed by a year of probation.

    During the sentencing hearing, Deputy District Attorney Ed Louka described Norman as a good father, a good son, and a good friend who died being a Good Samaritan, according to the statement.

    Offering an account of how life has changed, the mother of Norman’s daughter told the court that the child still cries waiting for her father to call in the mornings and nights, as he used to, according to prosecutors.

    “While this sentence ensures that the defendant is held accountable for his senseless and violent actions, we know it cannot fill the void left in the lives of those who loved Mr. Norman,” District Attorney Joe Khan said.

  • A cannonball was found in the backyard of a Cherry Hill home

    A cannonball was found buried in a Cherry Hill home’s backyard Friday morning, prompting street closures and evacuations.

    The Cherry Hill Police Department responded to the 200 block of Woodstock Drive South just before noon, after residents found a very old cannonball buried in their yard, said Capt. Sheldon Bryant.

    The Camden County Sheriff’s Department Bomb Unit was called in to handle the situation. The police temporarily evacuated neighboring homes and closed down surrounding streets.

    Cannonballs have been discovered in New Jersey yards before.

    In June 2015, an old cannonball mysteriously appeared in Madison in North Jersey, and was turned over to the U.S. Army, according to NBC New York.

    A month later, a couple found what turned out to be an active cannonball while landscaping their backyard in Lower Township in Cape May County. It was later detonated in an unpopulated area, 6abc reported.

    As for the Cherry Hill cannonball, it was unknown where the cannonball came from, how old it was, exactly how it was discovered, or how long it had been in the yard. The bomb unit took the cannonball for proper disposal, and the area was cleared in less than an hour, Bryant said. Streets were open soon afterward.

    “We treat every situation like this with care and caution to ensure the safety of our residents,” Bryant said. “We are thankful for the swift response of the Camden County Sheriff’s Department Bomb Unit and for the cooperation of the neighborhood while we worked to resolve this safely.”

  • Philly is seeking a quote to display on a Harriet Tubman statue at City Hall

    Philly is seeking a quote to display on a Harriet Tubman statue at City Hall

    A statue of Harriet Tubman will debut at City Hall this fall, and the city is seeking a quote from a Philadelphian that explains the famed abolitionist’s impact in 2026.

    The initiative is called “In Harriet’s Footsteps,” and Philadelphians have until March 1 to submit an original quote, answering the prompt: “What does it mean to walk in Harriet Tubman’s footsteps today?”

    The Philadelphia Art Commission approved the design of a Tubman statue by sculptor Alvin Pettit in 2024. Two of Tubman’s quotes are set to be featured at the bottom of the statue. But Creative Philadelphia, the city’s office of arts and culture, wants to include a third one made by a resident.

    “Alvin Pettit’s design, A Higher Power: The Call of a Freedom Fighter, will depict Harriet Tubman during her time serving in the military, commemorating her strength, resolve, and legacy as a soldier,” said Val Gay, chief cultural officer and executive director of Creative Philadelphia. “Now, it will also reflect a Philadelphian who is inspired by her leadership.”

    But there are some rules.

    Folks applying must live or work in Philly. And the original quote cannot have over 250 characters (about two sentences). Paraphrasing Tubman quotes does not count as original work, Creative Philadelphia warned.

    The ideal quote, organizers said, will connect the past and the present in a reflection of Tubman’s impact on future generations. Pettit offered an example: “She carved a path with a lantern of defiance for today’s society to walk in that light, bolder, freer, and forever indebted to the hands that first dared.”

    All voices are welcome so long as the quote is “clear, memorable, and insightful,” Creative Philadelphia said in a news release.

    A form including contact and demographic questions (like race and age) should be filed with the entry.

    The answers to the demographic questions will not affect the decision of which quote to use, Creative Philadelphia said, but are meant to measure the agency’s reach.

    A committee of artists, city employees, and a Philadelphia-based writer will review applications in search of a top 10. That list of quotes will be shared through a public survey, so Philly residents can vote for a winner.

    The winning quote will go on the back of the pedestal, with Tubman’s quotes “And I prayed to God to make me strong and able to fight” and “For no man should take me alive; I should fight for my liberty as long as my strength lasted” featured on the other sides.

    The winning quote will not be attributed to the applicant, but rather to “a Philadelphia citizen,” Creative Philadelphia said. And the writer will need to sign a waiver forfeiting future claims of ownership. But the writer’s name will appear on the statue’s credit panel.

  • About 40 anti-ICE activists are arrested at protest inside Target in South Philly

    About 40 anti-ICE activists are arrested at protest inside Target in South Philly

    About 40 people were arrested after an activist group Thursday evening conducted a demonstration inside a Target store in South Philadelphia to demand that the company take a public stand against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement actions at the chain’s stores.

    More than 100 demonstrators affiliated with No ICE Philly chanted “ICE out of Target now!” and played instruments inside the store near Snyder Avenue and I-95. Some shoppers joined the chanting.

    Shortly before 6 p.m., the protesters were given their first warning by police to leave or be arrested. Dozens then left, but a group of 40 or so remained inside, seated on the floor. Around 6:15 p.m., police began making arrests without incident. Three remaining protesters were given citations and allowed to leave, police said.

    The zip-tied detainees were led by police out of the store one by one to cheers from other protesters outside.

    The demonstration and subsequent arrests did not deter shoppers from going about their business, entering and leaving the store.

    A man dressed in a bear costume and wearing an action camera harnessed to his chest showed up and yelled at the activists inside the store, calling them “weirdos.” Police intervened to prevent an escalation.

    Rabbi Linda Holtzman, 73, (right) a spokesperson for No ICE Philly, addresses the crowd during a demonstration inside a Target store in South Philadelphia, Feb. 5, 2026.

    Benita Dixon, 66, accompanied by her granddaughter, was at the store to buy a Valentine’s Day present for her daughter when the protest broke out.

    Dixon’s first reaction was to get a tighter grip on her granddaughter’s hand, but when chanting began, the pair joined in dancing with protesters.

    “ICE has been going around killing people in Minnesota, and that’s not right,” Dixon said. “Many of my co-workers are coming into work carrying their passports because they are scared, so I’m glad we are protesting: No ICE in our streets.”

    Protests coordinated by No ICE Philly were conducted last month at Target stores around Philadelphia, including in Center City, Fairmount, Port Richmond, and South Philadelphia.

    Across the country, protesters — including employees of the company — have been calling for Target to publicly oppose the federal immigration crackdown in Minnesota, the company’s home state, and deny ICE agents who do not have judicial warrants access to Target stores and parking lots.

    Demonstrators from No ICE Philly protesting inside the Target store.

    “Target does not have cooperative agreements with any immigration enforcement agency,” a company executive said in a memo to employees on Jan. 22, Business Insider reported.

    A day after two ICE agents fatally shot 37-year-old Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, where Target is headquartered, then-incoming CEO Michael Fiddelke cosigned a joint statement from the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce with dozens of other executives, “calling for an immediate de-escalation of tensions and for state, local and federal officials to work together to find real solutions.”

    Pretti’s Jan. 24 killing in Minneapolis was the second in less than a month. On Jan. 7, an ICE agent fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good.

    A Target spokesperson said in an email that Fiddelke also sent a note to employees saying “the violence and loss of life in our community is incredibly painful” and that “we are doing everything we can to manage what’s in our control, always keeping the safety of our team and guests our top priority.”

    Target, founded in 1962, operates 1,989 stores across the United States and generates net revenue of more than $100 billion annually.

    The company was hit with a national boycott last year after it rolled back Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives to fall in line with the policies of President Donald Trump.

    No ICE Philly has led demonstrations against the agency and against the arrests of immigrants outside the city Criminal Justice Center.

    At the Target in South Philadelphia, Rabbi Linda Holtzman, 73, said the in-store protest is what people must do when neighbors are under attack.

    “What ICE is doing, what they have been doing, is horrible, and we stand with the people of Minneapolis,” Holtzman said.

    Protesting at the South Philadelphia Target is a way to tell the company that it must stand on the side of the people, Holtzman said.

    “Target has become an ally to ICE, letting them come into their stores without a warrant,” Holtzman said. “That’s not the America I grew up in. Is that the country you want?”

  • Getting ready for the snow and cold? Here are tips to prepare yourself, your house, and your car.

    Getting ready for the snow and cold? Here are tips to prepare yourself, your house, and your car.

    Brace yourself for the cold, Philadelphians, because the first double-digit snowfall in 10 years is potentially heading our way, followed by sub-freezing temperatures that could last the rest of the month.

    Since nowhere is safe from the cold, here are some tips on how to keep yourself from freezing and your property from damage (no burst pipes in sight):

    How to prevent frostbite or hypothermia

    Staying indoors is the best way to keep frostbite and hypothermia at bay, but some must brave the temperature for work, other needs, or emergencies, as even waiting for the bus can take longer if SEPTA experiences storm-related service delays.

    With temperatures forecast in the teens and lower 20s, it is important to keep an eye on your core temperature.

    When you rapidly lose heat or stay wet for too long, it can cause hypothermia, even indoors. This can affect your brain and body, causing slurred speech, confusion, clumsiness, and extreme tiredness.

    Continued exposure to the cold can cause frostbite, as blood stops reaching your fingers, nose, ears, and extremities properly. You can get frostbite even under winter clothing, and it can lead to losing the affected body parts. If you start feeling tingling, numbness, or your skin looks gray or pale, head indoors.

    Frostbite can happen without hypothermia symptoms, and vice versa. Children, older adults, and people with circulation issues are especially at risk

    To prevent both afflictions, stay dry, covered, and layered up, keeping your skin from being exposed.

    Read more for additional tips on staying warm.

    Where to stay warm if you have no heat or are experiencing homelessness

    Four out of five warming centers reached capacity on Thursday, but the city plans to open more and add beds as needed.

    The warming centers remain open at select libraries from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. And shelter beds have been added under the Code Blue declaration.

    Some recreation centers will also serve as warming centers from 9 p.m. to 9 a.m. Find the selected libraries and recreation centers closest to you on the city’s interactive map of warming centers.

    Folks in need of a warm place can go to their local police precinct to be transported to the nearest warming center.

    Read more about the warming centers.

    Avoid slips and falls

    Broken bones and head trauma are no fun. Stay grounded by wearing footwear with enough traction (no sneakers or dress shoes), or traction cleats.

    You can’t control the city roads, but salting your sidewalk properly can help avoid starting your day on the ground, or worse, in the emergency room. As you walk, make sure to lean slightly forward and take shorter steps. You may look like a penguin, but it’s worth it to avoid the pain and medical bills.

    Doing some balance exercise can also help.

    Tips to prevent frozen pipes and safely heat your home

    Much like your body, your home also loses heat in the cold, putting pipes at risk for freezing and bursting. Disconnecting garden hoses and shutting off the valve that feeds them, and keeping faucets slightly open and running can prevent expensive repairs.

    Pipes will begin to freeze when a thermostat is at 39 degrees and lower. Maintaining the thermostat at 50 degrees or above is ideal.

    Read more for tips on how to spot a freezing pipe or what to do if it bursts.

    How to prep your car for freezing weather

    Though they won’t burst, cars get cold too, reducing battery power and creating a risk of being left stranded, especially if the battery is older than two or three years.

    Be ready to jump-start your car. Jumper cables and a portable jumper pack can be helpful. Remember, red clamps to the positive post of the dead battery; black clamps to the negative post of the working battery and to the unpainted metal surface on the engine of the dead car.

    Here is a step-by-step guide on how to jumpstart a car.
