Three of the most haunted locations in America
People differ on how to handle the supernatural I grew up in a home and community where everyone went to the same Baptist Church. We were taught the power in the Name of Jesus and to tell evil spirits to go in His Name and not tolerate them. Others have different views on the supernatural, and some embrace it and even search for it. I had a pastor once who said that he would not co-exist in a house with evil and would tell it to leave.

A Mosaic Among the Ruins of Conflict and War
In October 2022, Syria unveiled a remarkable Roman-era mosaic measuring approximately 1,300 square feet (120 square metres), considered by Syrian archaeologists to be one of the country's most significant archaeological discoveries since the outbreak of civil war in 2011. Found in the town of Rastan, near Homs, the mosaic offers a rare glimpse into the region's extraordinary cultural heritage, much of which has suffered throughout the years of conflict.

When American Veterans Took Up Arms for the Ballot Box
This is a true story about American veterans who returned home from World War II only to find their own community under the grip of political corruption.

By the following morning, the county seat of Athens had become the center of an armed uprising that would capture national attention. Men who had fought dictatorships overseas had taken up arms against their own local government, determined to prevent what they believed was a stolen election.

She was born into one of the world’s greatest empires, lost her homeland before she turned ten, became one of the most photographed women of her generation, married into India’s richest royal family, and yet today, thousands in Hyderabad remember her not for her beauty or royal title, but for her compassion, for a hospital bearing her name continues to serve generations of mothers and children.

Freedom ain’t free baby
This food and this drank cost more than just money my love… I’ve been having this same thought for years now, but more heavily these recent months. Even though I’m black living in America (inherited oppression notwithstanding) I don’t realize how good I’ve got it…generationally speaking.
