News briefs: Asheville stands against racism, youths build Habitat home

Asheville takes a stand against racism this month as the YWCA builds community among those working for racial justice and encourages awareness of the negative impact of institutional and structural racism. The city earned a place on yet another national list, this time ranking No. 14 among the best places for LGBTQ retirees. And students from four area schools celebrated the completion of the Asheville Area Habitat for Humanity home they helped to build.
