On Monday, March 20, at 3 p.m., the Louisville Movement Against the Trump Rally will take place in the parking lot of the Kentucky Fair and Exposition Center, inside the main gate off of Philips Lane and I-264.

How Donald Trump’s futility in business made UofL football a national player

“Louisville ended up hiring the hottest coach in the country.
