![SIU professor, Najjar Abdul-Musawwir, displays a painting of his of a vase in his studio at the Glove Factory on Friday, Feb. 13, 2021 in Carbondale, Ill. As a young adult, Abdul-Musawwir dropped out of high school and was later imprisoned after an armed robbery attempt. While in prison, he had a change of heart after meeting a nearby inmate who encouraged him to self-educate himself “I ended up not being in school and when I got in prison, he [a fellow inmate] made me realize that I couldn’t read...as a result, I read everything I could get my hands on. I read the dictionary several times from front to back," Abdul-Musawwir said. He left prison with his GED and came to SIU to start his undergraduate. Abdul-Musawwir was later offered to teach a class and to this day he is a professor in the School of Art and Design as well as the Department of Africana Studies.](https://dailyegyptian.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Najjar08SRGB-900x601.jpg)
![Jason York, of Elvis' Place Concessions, serves up some hot dogs off the grill during the Food Truck Fridays event at the Pavilion in Marion, IL. Food Truck Friday event was put on by the Pavilion and by the Marion Cultural and Civic Center. The event occurs each Friday, where people can come out and enjoy the different foods offered from different food trucks / vendors. "A lot of those events [Fairs] that hold too many people have been cancelled. So this is a nice fix for us. To come in and have people come out and enjoy them in different ways...we've been doing it for fifty years and we have a lot of food to offer. It [COVID-19] definitely affected a lot of the events, so this is helpful," said York.
