The elements. First to meteorologist kari hall. Kari, is this pretty much our new normal for now . I hope not. I hope we do see changes as we go into the next couple of days. We can loop the smoke over the last 24 hours and see it has not moved. Were seeing it go up in the atmosphere and travels developing story, under way, acrosscountry. Thats what were seeing right now. We want to talk about why do we large fire at port of beruit. Have the orange sky and why its remember, this is where last so smoky right now. Month the massive explosion the problem is were seeing so rocked the city. Much of that smoke when you at least 190 people died in that think about the sunlight and blast that flattened nearby neighborhoods. The cause of the recent fire is those light rays that come through, on the when you unclear but the Lebanese Army says that fire is burning at a warehouse where oil and tires are stored.

Taking a live look at washington. It looks so clear there, doesnt it . Good morning. Thanks so much for joining us. Im laura garcia. Havent been clear in a while here. Im Marcus Washington for you this morning. Mike, hope has a clear forecast for our roads this morning, but, first, we have to start with the weather. Meteorologist kari hall is tracking that for us. Our skies havent been clear in a long time. Today going to be any different . I dont think so. Were still looking at a lot of smoke coming in and those fires continue to burn and so until we get more containment and more of those fires put out, were still going to have unhealthy air quality.

In the semester where were talking about the Civil Rights Movement. Weve been looking at that for a couple of sessions now. The interesting thing about teaching the Civil Rights Movement is that its perhaps the era that most americans think they know the most about.

One of the challenges for those of us who are learning the movement and connecting it to this much longer history of a black activism was, is theres a point where we almost have to unlearn some stuff before we can learn some stuff. Thats what i our reading is for today
