Three Montgomery County sisters who were recently featured in Essence Magazine say they are working to reclaim land in Potomac once owned by their great-great-grandfather, William Dove, a formerly enslaved man who purchased 36 acres in the late 1800s. According to a press release announcing their efforts, much of that land was later taken from the family through discriminatory practices and eminent domain.
In the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, Maryland, Judge Theresa Chernosky found Iris Alonzo-Salgado, 24, of Frederick, guilty of first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, and participating in a criminal organization resulting in death.
Montgomery County Councilmember Natali Fani-González received the Distinguished Advocate for Healthful Living Award from the Society of Health and Physical Educators of Maryland (SHAPE MD) for her leadership in promoting health, recreation, and wellness across schools and communities.
