WASHINGTON — Israel Vail’s entire life in the small western Guatemalan town of Cajolá is built off the money that his three children send home from the United States. The money from their construction jobs paid for the two-story white home where Mr. Vail now lives — and where his children, who are in the U.S. illegally, would also reside if they ever get deported. Mr. Vail, 53, invested some of the money in opening a local food shop, which he uses to keep his family afloat.

CINCINNATI — It took Kenneth Davis and his wife more than 20 years to raise the $1.4 million endowment they established for Black medical students entering the University of Cincinnati. Mr. Davis had spent 36 years as the only Black general surgeon in Cincinnati before retiring in 2020. Now, according to the Cincinnati Medical Association, which represents Black doctors in the city, there are none. The scholarship, Mr. Davis hoped, would help grow the minuscule ranks of Black doctors in the region.
