One of the greatest mysteries to this day is the mystery of the Stonehenge. Archaeologists trace the Stonehenge to the year 3100 B.C, but back then the invention of the wheel was unheard of. The stones in which the Stonehenge was made out of seemed to originate in the Wales which are 160 miles away from the Stonehenge. So how and why did the Celtic tribe pull of such an architectural feat, one which could capture the sun’s light and the summer solstice, one that formed the shape of a miniscule…

I was in the front passenger seat squinty ahead to make sure we do not drift off the road. Michael…

Louis Dwight, a prominent Yale-educated penologist whose travels shaped his interest in and advocacy for prison reform.

Teachers don’t like telling children that the Indians were slaughtered so we could have our city on top of the hill. Teachers also teach us about slavery and how horrible it was.
