Here are the top three stories in Dallas today:

1. In honor of Uterine Fibroid Awareness Month, the Barbara Jordan Leadership Institute, along with partners from the City of Dallas, corporate, and nonprofit sectors, are organizing events to raise awareness about uterine fibroids. The upcoming Self-Care Fair in Dallas at Cedar Crest Golf Course on Jul. 29 aims to provide women with information about this health issue and encourage them to seek medical care. The fair will offer screenings, educational resources, and various activities to empower women to take charge of their health and seek appropriate treatment options for uterine fibroids.

2. Rev. Frederick Douglass Haynes III of Dallas has been appointed as the new leader of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, succeeding Rev. Jesse Jackson. The announcement was made at the coalition's national convention in Chicago, where Vice President Kamala Harris congratulated Haynes on his new role. Jackson, who founded the civil rights group in 1971, is retiring due to health reasons and plans to focus on mentoring young ministers in social justice advocacy. (FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth)
3. The Office of the Inspector General for the Texas Juvenile Justice Department Governing Board is investigating the Dallas County Juvenile Probation Department based on complaints and inspection findings. The investigation focuses on neglect allegations related to the detention of juveniles in the Dallas County Juvenile Detention Center.
