The history of America is full of moral struggles. Although founded in 1776 on the idea that “all men are created equal,” there remained an estimated 500,000 slaves who would not partake in the new nation’s freedom, according to the Oxford Handbook of the American Revolution.

Grief in the Rearview Mirror

Dec 10, 2024 | afa.net | Rick Robertson |Stephanie Simmons |Joy Lucius |Hannah Meador

At the end of the year, it is almost an automatic human response to analyze and evaluate the previous 12 months of life – or at least it has been the case for me in the past. Maybe, it’s just my age, or maybe, it’s the teacher in me, but I have always tended to look backward at this time of the year.

Make the Cherry Compote: Stir water and corn starch together in a small bowl until fully dissolved. Rinse, pit, and halve the cherries. If using frozen, do not thaw them. No need to halve the cherries if using tart ones – they tend to be softer. Add cherries to a medium saucepan with the sugar and kirsch. Cook over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring lazily, until the cherries have released their juices and softened.

Nov 9, 2023 | khou.com | Stephanie Simmons

HOUSTON — Houston is home to some wild animal news. We've had gators on the highway and cows on the freeway. There are apparently peacocks as well. We went to the experts to get to the bottom of this Houston legend. The extravagant blue peacock with its illustrious bright feathers and sand-like display are quite the sight. Native to India, many people who are new to Houston would never expect to see them here. It turns out they've been staking their claim around town for decades.
