Morning Brief · from today’s top stories
Today, health experts are calling for a discussion on penile cancer in Puerto Rico, where incidence and mortality rates are significantly higher than in the US.
A new documentary titled 'Psiquis: Un Giro Decolonial' will be released on YouTube on July 25, marking a new perspective on mental health. This date also holds significance as it marks 74 years since the proclamation of the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, a milestone that divides opinions on the island’s status.
The Puerto Rican community came together in Cooperstown to celebrate a milestone in baseball, as Carlos Beltrán was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. On the island, concerns are being raised about the redevelopment of the Los Álamos public housing in Guaynabo, where heavy machinery and weed removal have been observed, but do not necessarily indicate the start of the long-awaited project.
