ATLANTA - Paul Milliken visits Mechanicsville's Dunbar Rec Center to learn more about the City of Atlanta summer initiative:

Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens says he's on a mission to make Atlanta the best city in the nation in which to raise children.

Dickens stopped by the city's Dunbar Recreation Center this morning, speaking to the media about summer activities and job opportunities for youths. He and other city leaders say providing safe and productive activities for the city's young people is a top priority, especially during the summer months.

"Since before I was even mayor, I knew that public safety needed a whole-of-government approach," said Dickens.

Dunbar Recreation Center provided a unique backdrop to Wednesday's event, thanks to a high-tech new addition called The Lab. Essentially a "creative hub" for teens, The Lab offers educational opportunities for graphic design, shirt printing, and broadcast and media.

History of D-Day at the National WWII Museum

This Friday marks the 81st anniversary of D-Day, and the National World War II Museum in New Orleans is dedicated to preserving the history of that pivotal day. Joanne Feldman spoke with retired Army Col. Peter Crean, the vice president of the museum's education and access, about what the museum has to offer.

America’s National WWII Museum commemorates the 81st anniversary of D-Day: According to 2024 US Department of Veterans Affairs statistics, less than half a percent of the 16.4 million Americans who served in World War II are still living. As direct connections to the war fade, there are fewer opportunities for young people to learn from those who experienced it firsthand. This makes the museum’s work documenting their memories, preserving their artifacts, and sharing their stories of courage, resilience, and sacrifice more critical than ever. The museum’s expansive collections include more than 300,000 artifacts and over 12,000 personal accounts by members of the WWII generation.
