Getting her due at 82. A movie is being made about Claudette Colvin’s life. The Vice President called her. The woman who spent most of her life as a convicted juvenile delinquent is now being recognized for what she is: a civil rights hero.

Four massive cannons from the Revolutionary War were found at the Thomas P. Bentley Nature Preserve in Chester County.
One of @ArlingtonNatl’s most beautiful pre-#MemorialDay traditions is “Flags In”, where Soldiers from the 3rd Infantry place flags at every single headstone to honor our fallen. This unit, known also as “The Old Guard”, has conducted this time-honored tradition since 1948.
The greatest fear in the world is of the opinions of others. And the moment you are unafraid of the crowd you are no longer a sheep, you become a lion. A great roar arises in your heart, the roar of freedom.
Oldest house in France. It's found in Aveyron, built in 13th century and belonged to a Jeanne. Ground floor is a little smaller than upstairs because in those times you only paid taxes on occupied land, so everyone built like this. #archaeohistories

#OnThisDay in 1917 Jeannette Rankin, the first woman elected to the U.S. Congress, assumed office as a representative from Montana. She was elected 4 years before women had the right to vote nationally. #HerStory

This attack on a shopping center is not a coincidence. Putin wants to starve the civilians to make them pressurize their leaders. Let’s pressurize Putin‘s Russia instead. If you continue to do business with them, you have blood on your hands.
#OTD Mar. 18, 1865: The day after his failed attempt to abduct #Lincoln, #JohnWilkesBooth performed for the last time. In his audience at @fordstheatre were fellow conspirators #JohnSurratt, #GeorgeAtzerodt, & #DavidHerold.
On this day in 1776, the British army withdraws from Boston following an 11-month siege by Rebel forces. Evacuation Day, as it becomes known, is commemorated in the city to this day.
