📰 News we're reading

• Before the Roses: How Tuberculosis Shaped Pasadena (coloradoboulevard.net) — Pasadena's early reputation as a health retreat for tuberculosis patients is traced through institutions like the Pasadena Preventorium, which cared for vulnerable children in the 1920s. Drawing on sources including Altadena Heritage, the article connects that legacy to today's free health screenings and flu shots available through Pasadena Public Library branches, a resource Altadena residents can easily access nearby.
   

• John Legend's Musical Debut & Nicole Avant's Legion of Honor (ebony.com) — Families in Altadena affected by the Eaton Fires are receiving ongoing monthly assistance funded by the Black Music Action Coalition's recent Beverly Hills gala, which honored major Black music figures. The piece also highlights John Legend's new musical at The Shed and a French cultural honor for Nicole Avant and Ted Sarandos, underscoring how arts and activism intersect to support local communities.
