RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Brazil's government has confirmed the first case of the new coronavirus in Latin America. The health minister said Wednesday that a 61-year-old man who traveled to Italy's Lombardy region has tested positive for the COVID-19 virus. The man had begun to show symptoms compatible with the illness, like a dry cough, throat pain and flu symptoms, and so was tested for the virus. Since the illness began to spread throughout the world, Brazil and other countries in the region have registered dozens of suspected cases, all of which previously had been discarded.With this South American case, the virus has now been reported in every continent except Antarctica. 695

Six people have died as a result of a severe storm system that caused blizzard conditions in the US Midwest and torrential rain and flood threats in the South.The system dumped about a foot of snow in the Dakotas, Nebraska and Minnesota by Friday morning. It was forecast to bring heavy rain farther east Friday and cause messy travel conditions.More than 11 inches of rain fell across some areas of Louisiana and Mississippi, where flash flood emergencies were issued overnight into Friday morning. More than 50 million people remained under flood and flash flood watches from Louisiana to New Jersey.The snow across the northern Plains and upper Midwest was expected to wind down throughout Friday morning, but blowing snow was limiting visibility. 762

She fed presidents and Freedom Riders. She broke New Orleans' segregation laws by seating black and white patrons together. And she helped mend the country's divisions, one meal at a time.In her seven-decade culinary career, Leah Chase did far more than introduce thousands to Creole cuisine.The chef and civil rights activist died Saturday, her family said. She was 96 years old."Leah Chase, lovingly referred to as the Queen of Creole Cuisine, was the executive chef and co-owner of the historic and legendary Dooky Chase's Restaurant," her family said in a written statement."Her daily joy was not simply cooking, but preparing meals to bring people together. One of her most prized contributions was advocating for the Civil Rights Movement through feeding those on the front lines of the struggle for human dignity. She saw her role and that of Dooky Chase's Restaurant to serve as a vehicle for social change during a difficult time in our country's history."'We gonna do like we do on the other side of town'Born and raised in Louisiana during the segregated Jim Crow era, Chase worked as a server in New Orleans' French Quarter in the early '40s.After she married local jazz musician Edgar "Dooky" Chase Jr. in 1946, the couple took over his father's bustling sandwich shop in the predominantly black neighborhood of Treme. They transformed it into an elegant sit-down Creole restaurant and African American art gallery -- something virtually unheard of during a time of rare black-owned businesses.Chase drew upon her childhood in Madisonville, Louisiana and her years as a server in New Orleans to reshape the restaurant.Even though her family was poor, the finery came out on Sundays."On Sunday we did have a white tablecloth and napkins, and we had that fried chicken and the baked macaroni, so Sunday was what you looked forward to," Chase told CNN last year.She wanted to bring those traditions to Dooky Chase's, as well as some of the customs she observed in French Quarter restaurants.There would be no ketchup bottles on the table. "When I came I said, 'No, we gonna do like we do on the other side of town. We gonna change things,' " she said. "That took a lot of doing, but we did it, and I insist on service."In the 1960s, Dooky Chase's became one of the few public places acceptable for races to mix while mapping strategy during the civil rights movement -- including black voter registration, NAACP meetings, and other political gatherings.Activists had a safe haven at Chase's restaurant."Nobody bothered them once they were in here. The police never, ever bothered us here," she said. "So they would meet and they would plan to go out, do what they had to do, come back -- all over a bowl of gumbo and some fried chicken."She inspired a Disney characterChase's talent and contributions led to a mountain of accolades, including from the prestigious 2886

SHOREWOOD, Wis. — A Wisconsin physical education teacher has been placed on leave after allegedly telling African-American students to reenact slavery and "slavery games."April 1 was a typical day in gym class at Shorewood Intermediate School until seventh-grader Alexis Averette says she was assigned an odd game by PE instructor Jan Zehren. “Ms. Zehren forced me and my partner to reenact slavery in front of the entire class," she said. "When we told her we were uncomfortable she told us we still had to do it."While some students presented dodge ball, others say they were paired up by race and told to reenact "slavery games." When Alexis and her partner proposed another game, the students say they were told it was too common.When Alexis told her parents, her mother and father were shocked. “She came home and she told me she had to reconstruct games ever played during slavery," said Alexis's father, Yuri Averette. "Yeah, I was completely shocked. I knew it was a problem immediately when she said she was uncomfortable."Averette and other parents voiced their concerns to the school. In response, Zehren was escorted out of building and placed on leave.Zehren has taught physical education in the Shorewood School District for 36 years. The school district sent a letter to students and parents saying they were investigating. Parents like Averette are seeking justice and want Zehern fired.“We don’t want (that) here and that’s not just for my child but for any other child. No one should have to go through this,” Averette said.In a statement, Shorewood Superintendent Bryans David said, “We are committed to providing an environment of inclusion in our schools.” WTMJ reached out to Zehren at her home, but did not get an answer. 1757
