There we were, two curators sifting centuries-old barrels of mud through a screen, when something surprising rolled out of the muck: a skull.The skull in question.It’s not the everyday task of curators at the National Museum of American History, but these three barrels of mud and pieces of broken wood were scraped from the bottom […]

Jimmy Carter: American homebrew hero? 2019-09-30

The next time you raise a glass of craft beer, make sure you toast former President Jimmy Carter. No, really. You should be offering your suds up to the man who was reported by the media during the 1976 election to be a non-drinker. As crazy as it may seem now, homebrewing used to be […]

The Washington Monument: A view from the museum 2019-09-06

It includes the western end of the National Mall, the World War II Memorial, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture, and, of course, the Washington Monument.

Fur the war effort 2019-08-09

“The world infrequently notes the passing of a squirrel," announced an Arizona radio station on August 10, 1949. But when it comes to the tale (or should we say “tail”) of Tommy Tucker, a most particular and patriotic squirrel, the radio station had to make an exception. And so must we.Tommy Tucker, photographed during his […]

A place at the park: LGBTQ+ inclusion and skateboarding 2019-07-30

When you think about the culture around skateboarding, you might think about the laid-back vibe of acceptance and inclusion that the sport has come to foster. But skaters from the LGBTQ+ community haven’t always felt accepted and included. Violent anti-gay attacks in the early 1980s and 1990s within the male-dominated world of skate led many […]

The Shepherd of Utah Beach 2019-07-17

D-Day. June 6, 1944. The words bring to mind images of hundreds of landing craft, machines, and American fighting forces landing on the beaches of faraway places. D-Day was the largest seaborne invasion in modern history. Thousands of soldiers, sailors, and airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Forces invaded Normandy to liberate Western Europe during World […]

I was going crazy. My family was going crazy. The whole town was going crazy! Fans were celebrating in the streets until […]
