Original screen capture from The Flash television series (The CW). The CW's superhero series The Flash depicts the adventures of Barry Allen, "the Fastest Man Alive," as he faces many other superhumans who also received superpowers from a particle accelerator failure. Most, but not all, of his fellow superhumans (called metahumans in the series) to appear so far have been supervillains. One who has been non-villainous, though still dangerous for the destructive nature of his powers and his difficulty controlling them, is Firestorm the Nuclear Man. The character Ronnie Raymond (played by actor Robbie Amell) is the lead structural engineer for S.T.A.R. Labs' particle accelerator. When the accelerator explodes, Ronnie vanishes.

Boston Fine Arts Museum Agrees To Spend $500,000 To Promote Diversity
After allegations of racism from black students last year, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston said it will be establishing a $500,000 diversity fund, numerous sources reported Tuesday. During a school field trip in May 2019, black students said a museum employee told them “No food, no drink, and no watermelon,” the New York Times reported.
