On Nov. 8, the Center Opens Its Doors for a Community Celebration With Music, Family Fun and Interactive Tours. Be Part of History as the Museum Reopens to the World.

ATLANTA, GEORGIA / ACCESS Newswire / November 7, 2025 / The National Center for Civil and Human Rights has reopened following a $57.9 million expansion that fulfills the vision of its founders and strengthens its role as a national destination for education, reflection, and action.

Leaders and supporters gathered on Nov. 4 for a ribbon-cutting ceremony featuring Arthur M. Blank, former Mayor Shirley Clarke Franklin, Mayor Andre Dickens, Board Chair Egbert Perry, Co-Chair AJ Robinson, CEO Jill Savitt, and Juneau Construction CEO Nancy Juneau.

The reopening marks a defining moment for the Center, expanding its footprint by 24,000 square feet – to 65,000 square feet – and transforming how visitors experience the ongoing story of courage and human rights in America and around the world. Two new wings, six new galleries, three classrooms, and interactive experiences.

The expansion also doubles the Center’s event-space capacity, with areas for classrooms, community gatherings, conferences, performances, and celebrations. The Franklin Pavilion’s roof terrace offers skyline views – a symbolic reminder of the city’s place at the heart of the civil rights movement.

“Our reopening arrives at a time when understanding our shared history feels more urgent than ever,” said Jill Savitt, president and CEO of the National Center for Civil and Human Rights. “This Center was built to show how history speaks to the present. These new galleries allow people to experience both the courage of those who came before us and the call to continue their work today.”

Champions of the Center Reflect on Its Reopening

Arthur M. Blank, Chairman, Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation

“I’ve always believed in the Center’s mission, in the lessons it teaches and the hope it inspires,” said Arthur M. Blank, owner and Chairman, Blank Family of Businesses. “Being part of this expansion is an honor for myself, my family and our Family Foundation, and we look forward to seeing the extraordinary work that will continue to shape our community and our future.”

Shirley Clarke Franklin, Former Mayor of Atlanta and Founding Visionary of the National Center for Civil and Human Rights

“When we originally opened the Center, we wanted history to live in the present. Seeing it reopen even stronger reminds me that Atlanta’s commitment to truth and justice continues to guide and inspire the world.”

Andre Dickens, Mayor of Atlanta

“Today’s ribbon cutting exemplifies progress and peace. The City of Atlanta was happy to support this expansion with $10 million, in partnership with Atlanta Fulton County Recreation Authority. This expansion was a group project in every sense of the phrase and has made Atlanta proud,”

The expansion honors two visionary Atlantans whose leadership made the Center possible. The Shirley Clarke Franklin Pavilion adds flexible classrooms, event space, and rooftop views of the city, while the Arthur M. Blank Inspiration Hall houses three new galleries, a café, and a museum store.

The Center’s updated and expanded galleries bring history to life in powerful new ways:

Rolls Down Like Water: The American Civil Rights Movement – The Center’s signature gallery returns with new storytelling and updates that enhance one of the most powerful visitor experiences: the Lunch Counter simulation, where guests take a seat at the counter and experience the courage of protestors who faced hatred with calm resolve.

A Committed Life: The Morehouse College Martin Luther King, Jr. Collection – This reimagined gallery features a rotating selection of Dr. King’s personal papers and writings. Visitors encounter Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as never before – as a man, a father, a pastor, and a leader whose humanity deepened his moral vision. In a new tradition, the Center will feature a guest curator for each rotation. The inaugural guest curator is Rev. Dr. Bernice A. King, the youngest child of Dr. King and Coretta Scott King.

Everyone. Everywhere. The Global Human Rights Movement – Highlights defenders and activists around the world and includes A Mile in My Shoes, an immersive installation where guests walk in others’ stories, encouraging empathy and connection.

Action Lab – A hands-on space where visitors design personal civic engagement plans and find practical ways to make a difference in their own communities.

Special Exhibitions Gallery – For the first time, the Center will have a gallery for temporary exhibitions, beginning with Reclaiming History: Selections from the Tinwood Foundation, featuring Southern Black artists whose work confronts injustice and celebrates resilience.

Broken Promises: The Legacy of the Reconstruction Era – Opening on Dec. 5, this gallery explores a chapter of U.S. history that provides critical context for the Civil Rights Movement. This gallery includes artifacts from the Without Sanctuary collection and a memorial space featuring the marker for Mary Turner’s lynching with an interpretation by artist Lonnie Holley.

The reopening comes amid a national conversation about how history is told in museums. The National Center for Civil and Human Rights remains privately funded and steadfast in its mission to share a more complete and accurate story of civil rights history, human rights challenges today

On Nov. 8, the Center will host a Community Celebration inviting visitors of all ages to experience the new museum. The event will feature a live radio broadcast by V-103 with Big Tigger, music, kids’ activities, giveaways, and special guests. With admission, visitors can explore the new galleries through free tours. Guests are encouraged to reserve tickets early at civilandhumanrights.org.

About the National Center for Civil and Human Rights

The National Center for Civil and Human Rights is a museum and cultural organization that inspires the changemaker in each of us. Opened in 2014, the Center connects U.S. civil rights history to global human rights movements today.

Integration boosts Grid AI’s deployment capacity as AI data-center power demand approaches 50 GW, growing by over 165% through 2030ⁱ

BOCA RATON, FL / ACCESS Newswire / November 6, 2025 / Entero Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENTO) (“ENTO” or the “Company”), the parent company of Grid AI, announced today the signing of a Letter of Intent to integrate the LV Grid engineering team and related intellectual property into Grid AI.

The company believes the addition of LV Grid marks a critical step in Grid AI’s strategy to capture a leading position in the rapidly expanding AI data-center energy-orchestration market. Under the proposed structure, LV Grid’s team, recognized for its deep experience in controls and energy optimization software, will join Grid AI to lead development of its AI Data Center Controls division. The team’s prior tenure with a Grid AI predecessor ensures seamless integration and further enhances execution capability.

Together, an integrated digital-dispatch and campus-optimization engine will be delivered, beginning with a soon-to-be-announced AI data center energy park in Texas, a flagship Grid AI deployment designed to validate the economics of fully orchestrated behind-the-meter generation and storage for hyperscale operators.

“Grid AI is building the controls and optimization platform for one of the fastest-emerging asset classes in global energy,” said Jason Sawyer, CEO of Entero. “By integrating LV Grid’s exceptional engineering talent and IP portfolio, we’re accelerating time-to-market for a solution capable of monetizing AI-driven campus flexibility at scale. This combination strengthens our ability to capture recurring software revenues, high-margin optimization fees, and long-term enterprise relationships across the rapidly expanding hyperscaler ecosystem.”

Václav Moulis, CEO of LV Grid and incoming Chief Technology Officer of Grid AI, added, “Our team has spent years refining real-time energy-control architectures that blend physical generation, storage, and AI-workload dynamics. Joining Grid AI under Entero’s platform gives us the capital support and commercial reach to deploy these systems globally, creating the technology and economic foundation for the next generation of intelligent power infrastructure.”

Based on estimates from Goldman Sachs, more than 50 GW of incremental hyperscale datacenter power capacity will be required by 2028-2030. With power-delivery build-out costs averaging $6-12 billion per GW, this implies $300-600 billion in new capital formation, of which $10-20 billion is addressable by next-generation energy-optimization and digital-dispatch platforms. The transaction positions Grid AI at the center of this transformation, uniting control-system innovation with AI-driven orchestration software.

Results of ongoing investigator-initiated proof-of-concept trial of crofelemer in United Arab Emirates (UAE) demonstrate disease progression modification and reduction of total parenteral support (PS) in pediatric intestinal failure patients ranging between 12% to 37%

SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / November 6, 2025 / Jaguar Health, Inc. (NASDAQ:JAGX) (Jaguar) family company Napo Pharmaceuticals (Napo) today issued a reminder that an abstract describing partial results of the independent and ongoing investigator-initiated trial (IIT) of crofelemer in the UAE for treatment of pediatric intestinal failure, which includes patients with intestinal failure due to microvillus inclusion disease (MVID) and short bowel syndrome (SBS-IF), will be presented this coming Saturday, November 8, 2025, at the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (NASPGHAN) Annual Meeting taking place November 5-8, 2025 in Chicago.

The results of the ongoing investigator-initiated proof-of-concept trial in the UAE demonstrate reduction of total parenteral support (PS) (comprised of total parenteral nutrition and supplementary IV fluids) in pediatric intestinal failure patients ranging between 12% to 37%.

MVID is a devastating ultrarare pediatric disorder, with an estimated worldwide prevalence of 100-200 patients, characterized by severe malabsorption that requires life-sustaining parenteral support to meet the nutritional, fluid and electrolyte requirements of the child, and for which there are currently no approved treatments. MVID has a lethal natural history along with significant co-morbidities. SBS affects approximately 10,000 to 20,000 people in the U.S., according to the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation, and it is estimated that the population of SBS patients in Europe is approximately the same size.

“We are very pleased with the initial findings from this pilot open-label study in pediatric intestinal failure patients with MVID and SBS. The unique mechanism of action of crofelemer and the reductions achieved in the average weekly parenteral support volumes buttress the ongoing investigation of crofelemer in pediatric intestinal failure patients. The ability to reduce PS needs is disease progression modification that has a groundbreaking impact on patient well-being as well as quality of life. We will continue to evaluate the longer-term safety and durability of these reductions in intestinal failure patients over the coming weeks,” said Pravin Chaturvedi, PhD, Napo’s and Jaguar’s Chief Scientific Officer and Chair of the Scientific Advisory Board.

In addition to supporting the IIT in the UAE and conducting the placebo-controlled clinical trial of crofelemer in pediatric MVID patients at sites in the U.S., E.U., and Middle East under appropriate regulatory approvals in each of these geographies, the company is providing crofelemer powder for oral solution for use in two expanded access programs in the U.S., authorized by the FDA, to treat pediatric intestinal failure patients with MVID. The company is also supporting an IIT in the U.S. of crofelemer in adult SBS-IF patients.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / November 6, 2025 / Carbon credits were the ambition. SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) is the execution. For too long, sustainability has run on faith: promises, pledges, targets. But as those models frayed, one company quietly built the real backbone: SMX. Its molecular marker architecture is doing more than verifying recycling; it’s rewriting trade, regulation, and accountability.

When Rolling Stone declared that plastic promises are dead and proof is the new flex, it wasn’t just a clever headline. It was the signal that the conversation had changed. The era when “sustainable” meant brand appeal is ending. Proof is stepping in as the only standard that survives scrutiny.

Then media across domains leapfrogged onto the same theme. USA Today described how new traceability tech is already mitigating tariff noise and supply chain fraud. Morning Honey picked up the story of SMX’s invisible marker system: a tech so integral that customs agents, regulators, and brands can scan raw materials and immediately verify origin, sidestepping delays and deception.

Meanwhile, in an interview with OPIS, SMX detailed its work in Asia-Pacific: embedding markers into plastic resin, tracking every transfer on-chain, and preparing for a future where every kilogram of recycled material carries a proof-of-signature that commands premium value.

When Carbon Credits Fade, Proof Emerges

Carbon credit systems once stood as pillars of environmental markets. But they were built on trust, not verifiable data. Over time, that trust got taxed by loopholes and claims no one could audit. SMX doesn’t replace carbon credits. It replaces uncertainty.

In Asia, governments are already leaning in. OPIS reported about how SMX’s pilot with Singapore’s A*STAR is targeting a 30% increase in recycling rates and a 50% drop in incineration by 2030. In that roadmap lies the future of recycling: certified, monitored, incentive-driven.

SMX’s logic is simple. Proof turns liability into negotiable value. In regulated economies, verified recycled content trades at a premium. Markets begin to reward transparency over guesswork. Profit emerges from accuracy.

Trade, Tariffs, and Transparency

Still, SMX isn’t purely defined by sustainability. The same system that certifies recycled plastic now verifies trade goods, textiles, and precious metals across multiple continents. Morning Honey reported how SMX’s molecular markers reduce customs delays and stop mislabeling at the border, allowing compliant goods to clear faster while bad actors face instant detection.

That’s the essence of transparency-as-protection. Instead of waiting for tariff enforcement or post-shipment audits, SMX gives compliant supply chains a competitive edge. Proof becomes defensibility. It’s what keeps honest companies moving while bureaucracy still slows the rest.

In the United States, SMX’s partnership with Tradepro is planning to turn verified recycled resin into a premium commodity. Across Europe, CARTIF in Spain is testing SMX’s traceability architecture within industrial R&D platforms to accelerate the implementation of EU circular-economy standards. CETI in France is on its way to embed the same molecular tagging in textiles, enabling luxury brands and retailers to authenticate fabrics, recycled blends, and origin stories at scale.

And in Singapore, Goldstrom is set to expand SMX’s molecular markers reach to precious metals, giving gold and silver a permanent identity for the first time in history. From refinery to retail, provenance becomes provable. That’s a revolution for an industry that has run on paper and trust for centuries.

In Austria, industrial automation leader REDWAVE is on its way to integrate SMX’s technology into its sorting systems, turning conveyor belts into real-time verification checkpoints. It’s proof meeting motion; physical validation built right into production.

The Shift From Promise to Proof Has Begun

This is not marketing. It’s momentum. When Rolling Stone, trade media, consumer press, and regional outlets converge on the same narrative, that alignment is itself validation. The story isn’t being prescribed. It’s being confirmed.

SMX’s platform spans plastics, textiles, metals, and electronics, giving each material a fingerprint that never erases. Better still, with the Plastic Cycle Token (PCT), it can be valued and traded cross-border seamlessly in lots worth millions, or even billions. As global laws tighten recycled-content mandates, consumers demand traceable products, and investors pursue verifiable ESG, SMX stands ready with a platform that delivers both legitimacy and infrastructure.

So, no more excuses. No more carbon-credit theater. SMX exposed the gap between intention and impact. Not with slogans, but with science. Best of all, in a world sick with broken promises, it didn’t just expose the problem, it delivered what everyone needed most: a cure.

About SMX

As global businesses face new and complex challenges relating to carbon neutrality and meeting new governmental and regional regulations and standards, SMX is able to offer players along the value chain access to its marking, tracking, measuring and digital platform technology to transition more successfully to a low-carbon economy.

TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / November 7, 2025 / Eskay Mining Corp. (“Eskay” or the “Company”) (TSXV:ESK)(OTC PINK:ESKYF)(Frankfurt:KN7)(WKN:A0YDPM) is pleased to provide additional assay results from its prospecting and sampling program at its 100% controlled Consolidated Eskay Project (“CEP”) in the Golden Triangle, British Columbia. Over the summer months of 2025, the Company’s geological team systematically prospected and sampled the Vermillion, TM, Red Lightning, and Big Red zones surrounding Unuk Finger Mountain in the southern extent of CEP where high grade gold veins were initially discovered in 2024.

Select Highlights

• This most recent batch of 121 spot rock chip and channel results includes eleven samples assaying over 20 g/t Au and 31 samples assaying over 1 g/t Au.

• The highest grade spot rock chip assays include;

  • 297 g/t Au and 790 g/t Ag collected from a quartz-sulfide vein at TM zone,

  • 217 g/t Au and 0.44% Cu collected from a quartz-sulfide vein at Vermillion zone,

  • 106 g/t Au and 54.9 g/t Ag collected from a quartz-sulfide vein at TM zone, and

  • 65.7 g/t Au, 31.5 g/t Ag, and 0.31% Cucollected from a quartz-sulfide vein at Vermillion zone.

• A channel sample assay at the TM Zone returned 165 g/t Au and 285 g/t Ag over 0.40 m within 45.5 g/t Au and 75.2 g/t Ag over 1.55m.

• A new gold-silver target, the Sultan zone, discovered in the southeastern corner of the claim package returned an initial assay of 11.2 g/t Au and 181 g/t Ag.

“Further expansion of the high-grade vein discovery in the southern portion of our Consolidated Eskay Project now fully explain the robust, large-scale BLEG stream sediment anomaly we identified around Unuk Finger Mountain in recent years,” commented Quinton Hennigh, director and technical advisor to Eskay Mining. “High-grade veins display a pattern of commonly being low-angle and stacked a few tens of meters apart. Veins are comprised of quartz and varying contents of sulfides including base metal sulfides, especially chalcopyrite. We are now seeing broad distribution of these veins, and they appear to display a spatial relation with a nearby Lee Brant Eocene intrusion not unlike those observed at both Goliath Resources’ Surebet project and Juggernaut Exploration’s Big One project. This new target style is generating a lot of excitement in the GT, and we think we may have a similar such exploration target emerging at CEP. We can see a path to inaugural drilling of these veins in 2026.”

2025 Exploration Program

The 2025 field exploration program at the Consolidated Eskay Project included extensive surficial sampling, reconnaissance geological mapping, and channel sampling across target areas around the Unuk Finger Mountain and additional target areas across the property. The focus of the program was to identify and advance early-stage gold-silver prospects into drill ready targets for the 2026 exploration season. All assays have now been received for the 2025 season and this release covers the remaining 95 rock and 26 channel samples collected for a season total of 310 spot rock chip samples and 55 channel samples.

In addition, Worldview 3 high-resolution satellite imagery survey has been collected across the property with results expected later this month. Hyperspectral imaging and detailed orthophotos will help support focused exploration efforts across Eskay’s 200 km² southern target area.

Results from the TM and Vermillion Zones

Exploration conducted across the Vermillion and TM targets has identified significant vein-hosted gold and silver mineralization that share many characteristics with reduced intrusion-related gold systems (RIRGS). Prospecting and reconnaissance mapping have discovered flat lying, sheeted and planar shear quartz vein zones spanning over 600 metres vertically and 500 by 2000 metres laterally with further areas to assess moving forward (Figure 1). Veining is spatially related to a biotite-hornblende quartz monzonite intrusion of the Lee Brant intrusive stock believed to be of Eocene age which covers a 40 sq/km area south of the vein zones.

In-situ visible gold and electrum mineralization have been identified over a 2km strike length occurring in multiple planar and sheeted quartz-carbonate veins at both the Vermillion and TM zone to the east. Veins hosting accessory pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, bismuthinite, and rarely wolframite and gold show strong correlations with copper, bismuth and silver with anomalous tellurium. Lead and zinc (+/- silver) veins have also been sampled and may represent distal expressions of the mineralizing system. Mineralized veins are primarily hosted in metavolcanic and volcaniclastic sequences of the Lower to Middle Jurassic Hazelton Group and have also been observed in float boulders of the Lee Brant Stock quartz monzonite.

A remaining total of 95 rock sample assays have been received from follow-up sampling at the TM (Figure 2) and Vermillion (Figure 3) zones. Further sampling across the targets has continued to expand upon the surface footprint of vein-hosted gold and silver mineralization and recent sampling has returned the highest gold grades to date in the area with sample A0519920 assaying 297 g/t Au and 790 g/t Ag. Of the 95 rocks collected in the last phase of sampling, 5 rock samples assayed over 20 g/t Au, 8 samples assayed over 10 g/t Au, 14 samples assayed over 5 g/t Au, and 21 samples assayed over 1 g/t Au (Tables 1 and 2).

Select assay highlights from TM & Vermillion include:

• A0519920 assayed 297 g/t Au and 790 g/t Ag

• A0518360 assayed 217 g/t Au and 0.44% Cu

• A0518357 assayed 106 g/t Au and 54.9 g/t Ag

TM Channel Sample Assay Results

A total of 41.77m of channel sampling has been completed to date at the Vermillion and TM zones. TM channel samples are reported herein, see previous release dated September 17, 2025 for Vermillion channel sample results.

A total of 16.86m across 9 channel series were completed at TM testing various vein generations for gold mineralization (Table 3). Due to terrain limitations channel sampling widths were limited in their extents as the TM area is characterized by steeply sloping topography. Channels were completed at a minimum width of 1.5m to reflect minimum underground mining widths and were sampled both across veins with known gold mineralization as well veins that had not previously been sampled.

All channels were successful in intersecting gold and silver mineralization with significant gold intersections including 165 g/t Au and 285 g/t Ag over 0.40 m within 45.5 g/t Au and 75.2 g/t Ag over 1.55m from Channel V7 and 46.6 g/t Au and 16.7 g/t Ag over 0.25m within 6.67 g/t Au and 2.53 g/t Ag over 1.7m from Channel V4.

Weighted average intervals include:

• Channel V1: 6.11 g/t Au and 5.00 g/t Ag over 1.94m

• Channel V2: 4.17 g/t Au and 4.23 g/t Ag over 1.62m

• Channel V3: 0.18 g/t Au and 0.77 g/t Ag over 2.00m

• Channel V4: 6.67 g/t Au and 2.53 g/t Ag over 1.75m

• Channel V5: 4.96 g/t Au and 6.47 g/t Ag over 2.50m

• Channel V6: 2.99 g/t Au and 2.27 g/t Ag over 2.50m

• Channel V7: 45.5 g/t Au and 75.2 g/t Ag over 1.55m

• Channel V8: 0.15 g/t Au and 0.40 g/t Ag over 1.50m

• Channel V9: 0.49 g/t Au and 1.23 g/t Ag over 1.50m

Assay Results from the Sultan Zone

One day was spent conducting reconnaissance sampling on previously unexplored areas 7km southeast of the TM Zone at the end of the 2025 season. Prospecting returned promising initial results from base metal veins hosted in broad quartz-sericite-pyrite alteration zones within Upper Triassic rocks of the Stuhini Group with one assay of 11.2 g/t Au and 181 g/t Ag. The recent discovery of additional gold-silver mineralization in the southern extents of the claims support the need for further exploration in the area and attest to the district scale precious and base metal potential across the property.
