### Chapter 20: Gilded Age
The late 19th century, known as the Gilded Age, was marked by rapid industrialization and economic growth. Tycoons like Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller amassed great wealth, while cities expanded with new infrastructure. However, this era also saw stark income inequality and harsh working conditions.

How America became Great | Part 19
### Chapter 19: Reconstruction Era The Reconstruction era (1865-1877) aimed to rebuild the South and integrate freed slaves into society. The 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments abolished slavery, granted citizenship, and secured voting rights for African Americans. Despite significant progress, the era faced resistance and violence from groups like the Ku Klux Klan. Reconstruction's end saw the rise of Jim Crow laws, enforcing racial segregation and disenfranchisement, but it laid the groundwork for future civil rights movements.

Flags flew freely in the summer breeze. They consisted of a gray and white human brain against a black background. Scales of gold sat just overtop the image of the organ. The sun rose at just the zenith and shared its light and warmth with the attendees to one of the country-states’ greatest accomplishments: the graduation of two women who had been in a halfway house and found their passions for art design and communications. Mala and Sheltham looked on with sunglasses and cheered the graduates. With the knowledge they had months to go before being up on that stage, they looked at each other and grinned. After the ceremony, they walked into a pizza restaurant that fit their budgets.

The Evolution of LGBT Portrayal in TV and Film
Happy Pride Month, all! I love Pride Month and everything that comes with it; the celebration, the festivities, the prestige. Pride Month is the ultimate beacon of positivity. Now sadly, there are a bunch of people in society who aren't really crazy about Pride Month and have their things to say against it. To those people, I'll only say this. There's a special place reserved for people who are against Pride Month. I'm too much of a gentleman to say it here, but I'll give a few hints: it rhymes with "bell," and I'm not talking about the city in Michigan.
