Honoring NYPD Veteran Ivey Bruce: 25 Years After 9/11
September 11, 2026, marks 25 years since the terrorist attacks that changed the nation. As communities remember those who died and honor those who served, DoRaleigh.com renews its tribute to NYPD veteran Ivey Bruce, whose story connects public service in New York City with community involvement in Southeast Raleigh.
Bruce’s dedication reminds us that remembrance includes recognizing the people who answered calls for help, supported emergency operations, and carried the weight of that work beyond their shifts.
A Career Answering the Call
A 1994 Associated Press profile identified Bruce as NYPD police operator 1784 and documented her calm, compassionate handling of emergency calls. Read the profile in the Los Angeles Times.
Emergency communications personnel help people through frightening, uncertain moments. Their work requires careful listening, clear questions, and the ability to gather essential information under pressure. Bruce’s story offers an opportunity to recognize that often unseen contribution to public safety.
Recognizing the Challenges After Service
DoRaleigh’s original 2025 tribute described Bruce’s service during and after September 11, multiple battles with cancer following retirement, and difficulties obtaining assistance through a 9/11-related program.
Those details reflect the earlier account; this anniversary tribute does not establish a new medical assessment or an update on her assistance status. Her story remains a reason to listen to those affected by 9/11 and to recognize the challenges that can follow years of public service.
A Connection to Southeast Raleigh
The original tribute also recognized Bruce’s involvement with Chavis Circle of Friends, helping residents of Southeast Raleigh. That local connection gives DoRaleigh’s remembrance special meaning: someone whose career involved helping New Yorkers also brought that commitment to the Raleigh community.
Service takes many forms, from answering an emergency call to supporting neighbors through a community organization. Each deserves recognition.
Remembering With Gratitude
On the 25th anniversary of September 11, DoRaleigh.com honors Ivey Bruce’s service, strength, and contributions to others. We remember those who lost their lives and recognize the survivors, families, emergency responders, and communications personnel whose stories remain part of that day’s legacy.
Remembering means making room for individual stories—and continuing to value the people behind them.

Does Red Light Therapy Really Improve Your Skin?
Red light therapy has become a popular wellness and skincare trend, appearing in dermatology offices, spas and a growing selection of at-home masks and panels. But while the treatment may offer real benefits, a Columbia University dermatologist says consumers should expect gradual, modest changes—not dramatic overnight results.
A recent ColumbiaDoctors article explains how the therapy works, what it may improve and what consumers should consider before purchasing an at-home device.
How Does Red Light Therapy Work?
Red light therapy exposes the skin to specific wavelengths of visible red light. Cells absorb that light through their mitochondria, helping them generate energy that may support collagen production, tissue repair and reduced inflammation.
Unlike ultraviolet light from the sun or tanning beds, red light does not expose the skin to damaging UV radiation or produce significant heat.
What Skin Concerns May Improve?
According to Columbia dermatologist Dr. Victoria Perez, scientific evidence suggests that consistent red light therapy may produce small improvements in:
- Fine lines
- Skin texture
- Redness
- Acne
- Scarring
- Certain forms of hair loss
Results are generally subtle. Treatments may be needed several times per week for several months before noticeable changes appear.
Dr. Perez recommends viewing red light therapy as a supplement to other skincare or hair-loss treatments rather than a replacement for established medical care.
Is Red Light Therapy Safe?Red light therapy is generally considered safe when used properly, although some people may experience temporary redness.
People with melasma should be cautious because concentrated visible light could worsen hyperpigmentation. Eye protection is also important because prolonged exposure may damage the retina.
Anyone with an existing skin condition, eye disorder or sensitivity to light should speak with a qualified medical professional before beginning treatment.
What Should You Look for in an At-Home Device?
Professional devices used in dermatology offices are typically more powerful than consumer products. The article notes that at-home devices vary considerably in strength, quality and intended purpose.
Consumers should look for products with laboratory safety certifications and wavelengths between 600 and 720 nanometers. Because different skin and hair concerns may respond to different wavelengths, shoppers should choose a device designed for their specific treatment goals.
Is Red Light Therapy Worth Trying?
Red light therapy appears to be a legitimate supplemental treatment, but realistic expectations are essential. It may deliver modest improvements when used consistently, but it is unlikely to transform the skin quickly or replace professional dermatological care.
A dermatologist can help determine whether red light therapy is appropriate and recommend a safe, effective treatment approach.
This article is for informational purposes and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

Lawsuit Claims AI Hiring Tools Discriminate Against Disabled Job Applicants
A closely watched federal lawsuit alleges that artificial intelligence used during the hiring process can unfairly screen out qualified applicants with disabilities.
As reported by Disability Scoop, the proposed class-action lawsuit accuses human resources platform Workday of using AI-powered screening tools that disproportionately disadvantage disabled applicants, people older than 40 and members of other protected groups.
Employment Gaps May Become Disability “Proxies”
The plaintiffs allege Workday’s software can treat information such as gaps in employment history as an indicator of illness or disability. A federal judge has allowed claims involving disability discrimination and disparate impact to continue, while earlier allegations of intentional discrimination were dismissed.
Workday denies the allegations. The company says its recruiting technology evaluates job qualifications—not protected characteristics—and that employers retain control over hiring decisions. Reuters reported that a federal judge allowed most of the amended claims to proceed.
Why the Case Matters
The lawsuit could help establish how existing civil rights protections apply when employers rely on automated systems to review résumés, rank candidates or recommend which applicants advance.
The U.S. Department of Justice warns that hiring technologies may violate the Americans with Disabilities Act when they unfairly screen out qualified applicants. Employers can also remain responsible when discriminatory technology is supplied by a third-party vendor, according to federal guidance on AI and disability discrimination.
For job seekers with disabilities, the case highlights growing concerns about transparency, reasonable accommodations and whether an automated rejection occurred before a human reviewed the application.

Important American History Moments That Happened in August
African American history is American history, and August includes several major turning points in the nation’s political, cultural, labor and civil-rights story.
From the arrival of Africans at Point Comfort in 1619 to the March on Washington in 1963, the month includes moments of achievement, resistance, tragedy and transformation. August also marks the anniversaries of the Voting Rights Act, Thurgood Marshall’s Supreme Court confirmation and the birth of the nation’s first African American president.
Here are some of the most important African American history dates to remember in August.
August 4, 1961: Barack Obama Was Born
Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on August 4, 1961. He became the 44th president of the United States and the first African American to hold the nation’s highest office when he was inaugurated in January 2009.
Obama served two terms as president, from 2009 to 2017. His election represented a historic milestone nearly 150 years after the abolition of slavery and more than four decades after the Voting Rights Act became law.
Learn more from the Obama White House Archives.
August 6, 1965: The Voting Rights Act Was Signed
President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act into law on August 6, 1965.
The landmark legislation prohibited racially discriminatory voting practices, including literacy tests used to prevent Black citizens from registering to vote. It also authorized federal intervention in jurisdictions with documented histories of discrimination.
The law followed years of organizing and sacrifice by civil-rights activists, including the voting-rights campaign and marches in Selma, Alabama.
Read the Voting Rights Act at the National Archives.
August 9, 1936: Jesse Owens Won His Fourth Olympic Gold Medal
Jesse Owens won his fourth gold medal at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin as a member of the United States 4-by-100-meter relay team.
Owens also earned gold medals in the 100-meter dash, 200-meter dash and long jump. His achievements challenged Nazi Germany’s claims of Aryan racial superiority and established him as one of the most accomplished athletes in Olympic history.
Owens returned to a segregated United States, where he continued to face racial discrimination despite his international success.
August 17, 1887: Marcus Garvey Was Born
Marcus Mosiah Garvey was born in Jamaica on August 17, 1887.
Garvey founded the Universal Negro Improvement Association and became one of the early 20th century’s most influential advocates for Black nationalism, Pan-Africanism and economic independence.
His movement encouraged people of African descent around the world to take pride in their heritage, build Black-owned institutions and pursue political and economic self-determination.
August 18, 1920: The 19th Amendment Was Ratified
The 19th Amendment was ratified on August 18, 1920, prohibiting the federal government and states from denying voting rights based on sex.
Although the amendment represented an important victory, it did not guarantee equal access to the ballot for all women. Black women, particularly those living in the South, continued to confront poll taxes, literacy tests, intimidation, violence and other discriminatory barriers.
Black women remained central to the continuing struggle for voting rights, which eventually helped produce the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
Explore the 19th Amendment through the National Archives.
August 20, 1619: Africans Arrived at Point Comfort
The arrival of Africans at Point Comfort in the English colony of Virginia is traditionally commemorated on August 20.
Approximately 20 Africans were brought to Virginia aboard the English privateer White Lion in late August 1619. The event became an important moment in the development of racialized slavery in English North America.
The date should be understood within a broader history. Africans were present in other parts of the Americas and North America before 1619, and historians continue to examine the status and experiences of the Africans who arrived in Virginia.
August 21, 1831: Nat Turner’s Rebellion Began
Nat Turner and a group of enslaved people began an uprising in Southampton County, Virginia, on August 21, 1831.
Turner, an enslaved preacher, believed he had been called to lead people out of slavery. The rebellion became one of the most consequential uprisings by enslaved people in United States history.
Authorities responded with executions and widespread violence against Black residents. Southern lawmakers also imposed more restrictive laws designed to control the movement, education and religious activities of enslaved and free Black people.
Learn more from the National Museum of African American History and Culture.
August 25, 1925: The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters Was Organized
The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters was organized in 1925 under the leadership of A. Philip Randolph.
Pullman porters performed demanding work while facing low wages, long hours and racial discrimination. Their union became a pioneering force in the Black labor movement and eventually secured a landmark collective-bargaining agreement.
The Brotherhood’s organizing helped connect economic justice, workers’ rights and the emerging civil-rights movement.
Explore the history of the Pullman porters through the National Park Service.
August 27, 1963: W.E.B. Du Bois Died
Scholar, author and civil-rights leader W.E.B. Du Bois died in Ghana on August 27, 1963, one day before the March on Washington.
Du Bois was a co-founder of the NAACP and an influential advocate for civil rights, higher education and Pan-African unity. His writings examined race, democracy, economics and the experiences of Black Americans.
His death came as a new generation of activists prepared to gather in Washington to demand jobs, equality and freedom.
August 28, 1955: Emmett Till Was Murdered
Emmett Till, a 14-year-old Black teenager from Chicago, was abducted and murdered while visiting relatives in Mississippi on August 28, 1955.
His mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, made the courageous decision to hold an open-casket funeral. Images showing the brutality inflicted on her son were published by Black media outlets and seen around the world.
Till’s murder and the acquittal of the two white men charged with the crime helped galvanize a new generation of civil-rights activists.
Read Emmett Till’s story from the Smithsonian.
August 28, 1963: The March on Washington Took Place
Approximately 250,000 people gathered in Washington, D.C., for the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on August 28, 1963.
The demonstration brought national attention to employment discrimination, segregation, voting rights and the need for comprehensive civil-rights legislation. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his historic “I Have a Dream” speech from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.
The march became one of the defining events of the Civil Rights Movement and helped build momentum for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965.
Explore the March on Washington through the National Park Service.
August 30, 1967: Thurgood Marshall Was Confirmed to the Supreme Court
The United States Senate confirmed Thurgood Marshall as an associate justice of the Supreme Court on August 30, 1967.
Marshall became the first African American to serve on the nation’s highest court. Before joining the Supreme Court, he was a leading civil-rights attorney who successfully argued Brown v. Board of Education, the landmark case that declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional.
Marshall served on the Supreme Court from 1967 until 1991.
View the Senate’s historical record.
Why August 28 Is Especially Important in Black History
August 28 stands out as an exceptionally consequential date in African American history.
Emmett Till was murdered on August 28, 1955. Eight years later, the March on Washington brought approximately 250,000 people to the nation’s capital. W.E.B. Du Bois had died in Ghana just one day before the march.
The Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture has highlighted August 28 because of the number of major events connected to Black history that have occurred on that date.
Keep Learning About African American History
These anniversaries provide opportunities to learn about the people and movements that transformed the United States. They also remind us that progress resulted from sustained organizing, courage, creativity and sacrifice.
Raleigh residents can continue exploring African American history through local museums, historic sites, libraries, archives and community organizations throughout the year.

Trump Administration Sued Over New Medicaid Changes – What It Means for North Carolina Residents
The Trump administration is facing a legal challenge after a coalition of 25 states and the District of Columbia filed a lawsuit seeking to block new federal Medicaid work requirement rules. The lawsuit argues that the changes could make it more difficult for eligible Americans to maintain their health coverage. (Reuters)
For North Carolina residents who rely on Medicaid, understanding these proposed changes is important, especially as the state continues to expand access to healthcare.
Why the Lawsuit Was Filed
The lawsuit challenges new guidance issued by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) implementing Medicaid work requirements authorized under recent federal law.
According to the states, the new rules:
- Narrow the definition of who qualifies as “medically frail,” potentially affecting exemptions.
- Require some beneficiaries to complete additional documentation to maintain coverage.
- Could increase administrative hurdles that lead eligible people to lose Medicaid benefits.
- Place additional compliance requirements on state Medicaid agencies. (Reuters)
The coalition is asking a federal court to prevent the rules from taking effect while the case moves through the legal system.
The Trump Administration’s Position
Federal officials have defended the policy, saying the changes are intended to:
- Reduce fraud and improper payments.
- Ensure Medicaid benefits are directed to eligible recipients.
- Encourage work, education, or community engagement for adults who are able to participate.
- Improve program accountability and long-term sustainability. (Spotlight PA)
The administration has argued that exemptions remain available for individuals who qualify under federal law.
What This Means for North Carolina
North Carolina is among the states participating in the lawsuit challenging the federal rule. (Becker’s Hospital Review)
While the litigation continues, current Medicaid coverage generally remains unchanged. However, if the rules ultimately take effect, some beneficiaries could face new reporting requirements or documentation obligations depending on how the policy is implemented. The exact impact will depend on future court rulings and guidance issued by state and federal agencies. (Reuters)
What Medicaid Recipients Should Do
If you or a family member receives Medicaid:
- Watch for official notices from your health plan or the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services.
- Keep your contact information up to date.
- Respond promptly to any requests for eligibility verification.
- Follow updates as the lawsuit proceeds through the courts.
What’s Next?
The federal court will determine whether the challenged rules can move forward while the case is being litigated. Because the lawsuit concerns nationwide Medicaid policy, the outcome could affect millions of Americans and influence how states administer Medicaid eligibility in the future.
DoRaleigh.com will continue following this story and provide updates as new court decisions and federal guidance become available.
