We've got a great episode for you today with Scott Ellsworth about his new book Midnight on the Potomac: The Last Year of the Civil War, the Lincoln Assassination, and the Rebirth of America, which is out July 15. I told Scott in today's episode that the subtitle alone sounds like three books—he covers so much ground here, and it's written in such a narrative format that you will just gobble this book about history up. I am personally partial to history—it's always been my favorite subject—but even if that's not you, the way that Scott writes is so gripping and compelling, you honestly won't want to put the book down. This book is about the last year of the Civil War and is a new account of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln; we go deep into the stories of figures, like Lincoln, that you know from the Civil War era, but also those you have maybe never heard of, like the female war correspondent Lois Adams. The cast of characters is enormous and fascinating. You'll likely also walk away looking at Lincoln's assassin John Wilkes Booth differently—and how Lincoln's assassination was bigger than just one lone actor. The book opens with the deeply powerful line “This is a book about how we almost lost our country,” and it takes us through the story in acts—which I admit I've never seen before in a book, and I loved. This is a myth-shattering book written by New York Times bestselling author and historian Scott Ellsworth, who is also the author of The Secret Game, The Ground Breaking, Death in a Promised Land, and The World Beneath Their Feet, and he's a former Smithsonian Institution historian who has written about American history for The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Los Angeles Times. In addition to writing great historical works, he also teaches at the University of Michigan, and he's a totally great person. Midnight on the Potomac: The Last Year of the Civil War, the Lincoln Assassination, and the Rebirth of America by Scott Ellsworth

From Scott Ellsworth, the author of The GroundBreaking, which was longlisted for the National Book Award, comes a riveting new account of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. His latest is a page-turning, eye-opening account of the last desperate months of the Civil War, when the very future of the United States teetered on the brink amidst ideological clashes and political extremism.   But more than that, MIDNIGHT ON THE POTOMAC: The LastYear of the Civil War, the Lincoln Assassination, and the Rebirth of America is an incredibly timely read. For 1864-1865 was hallmarked by many sentiments the United States faces today: political upheaval, competing truths, and a nation trying to move forward in an age of extreme division.  About the Author :Scott Ellsworth is the New York Times bestselling author of The Secret Game, winner of the 2016 PEN/ESPN Award for Literary Sports Writing. He has written about Americanhistory for The New York Times, The WashingtonPost, and the Los Angeles Times. Formerly a historian at the Smithsonian Institution, he is also the author of The World Beneath Their Feet and Death in a Promised Land, hisgroundbreaking account of the 1921 Tulsa race massacre. Scott lives in Ann Arbor, where he teaches in the Department of Afro American and African Studies at the University of Michigan.  

In 1919, the Smithsonian Institution sent a 32-man Expedition to Central Africa to look for this Mysterious Creature.

Lewis is featured in "What drawing can be: four responses" at the Menil Collection's Menil Drawing Institute, Houston. The exhibition, which also offers work by Jillian Conrad, Teresita Fernández, and Constantin Luser, presents ways in which the four artists stretch the boundaries of drawing and offer new ideas of what it can be. It's on view through August 10. The gallery guide is available here. Lewis' work examines the relationship between semiotics and language as a means to confront subjects such as race, power, communication, and labor. His solo exhibition credits include the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, and the Rose Art Museum, Brandeis University. His work is in the collection of museums such as the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, the Studio Museum in Harlem, and the Museum of Modern Art, New York.

Scientists have discovered evidence that some of the earliest members of the human race, Homo sapiens, were surprisingly advanced.科学家发现了证据表明，人类最早的人智人（Homo Sapiens）令人惊讶地先进。Scientists say these early humans knew how to use color pigments found in nature, create advanced tools and trade for supplies with other groups of people.科学家说，这些早期的人知道如何使用自然界中发现的颜色色素，创建高级工具和与其他人群的供应。A report on the discovery was published recently in the journal Science.该发现的报告最近发表在《科学》杂志上。The scientists said they examined artifacts recovered from southern Kenya. Some of the objects are said to date back to 320,000 years ago. They are about the same age as the earliest-known Homo sapiens fossils found in other parts of Africa.科学家说，他们检查了从肯尼亚南部回收的文物。 据说其中一些物体可以追溯到320，000年前。 它们与在非洲其他地区发现的最早著名的智人化石大约相同。In the report, the researchers described an ochre pigment that produced a bright-red color. They say this pigment could have been used for body painting. They also found tools made from obsidian, a volcanic rock that can have an extremely sharp edge.在报告中，研究人员描述了一种产生鲜红色颜色的Ocher色素。 他们说这种颜料本可以用于人体彩绘。 他们还发现了用黑曜石制成的工具，这是一种火山岩，可以具有极为锋利的边缘。The researchers found evidence of obsidian being transported to the Olorgesailie Basin, up to 88 kilometers away from where the rock was found. This discovery led the scientists to believe it had come from another group through trade. But they did not know what was provided in exchange for the obsidian.研究人员发现，黑曜石被运送到距离发现岩石的88公里的Olorgesailie盆地的证据。 这一发现使科学家认为它是通过贸易来自另一个群体的。 但是他们不知道为黑曜石换取了什么。The researchers said the findings show developments in technology and social structures unexpected so early in human history.研究人员说，调查结果表明，在人类历史的早期，技术和社会结构方面的发展。Rick Potts is a paleoanthropologist and director of the Human Origins Program at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History in Washington D.C. He believes that these newly identified mental and social abilities — including recognition of “distant groups, use of pigments and technologies including projectile points — were at the foundation of our species' origin.”里克·波茨（Rick Potts）是史密森学会（Smithsonian Institution）在华盛顿特区国家自然历史博物馆的人类人类原产计划的主任，也是人类起源计划。他认为，这些新近确定的心理和社会能力，包括“远处的群体，使用颜料和技术的使用，包括投射点 - 是我们物种起源的基础”。Alison Brooks, another paleoanthropologist, is with the George Washington University in Washington, D.C. Speaking of the pigment, she said, “The choice of importing the ochre from a distance rather than using a more common local material…argues that having a red face or hair or clothing or weapons also carried a symbolic message of some sort.”另一位古人类学家艾莉森·布鲁克斯（Alison Brooks）在华盛顿特区的乔治华盛顿大学（George Washington University）谈到颜料，她说：“选择从远处进口ocher而不是使用更常见的本地材料……认为拥有红色的脸，头发或衣服或武器或武器也带有某种象征性的信息。”The researchers described the obsidian tools they found as smaller, of better quality, and more specialized than larger stone tools used by earlier human species.研究人员描述了他们发现的黑曜石工具较小，质量更高，并且比早期人类使用的更大的石材工具更专业。The obsidian was used in a number of tools with sharp or pointy edges. The rock was also found in small, sharp points that could be placed at the end of a piece of wood or bone for use as a weapon.黑曜石被用于许多具有锋利或尖端边缘的工具。 还发现了岩石的小点，可以放在木头或骨头的末端，以用作武器。

In this week's episode, I'm diving into the captivating secrets of the Grand Canyon. We'll explore some of the long-standing mysteries surrounding this incredible natural wonder. I'll be discussing the alleged early 1900s discovery by an explorer within a mysterious cave nestled in the canyon walls. We'll also delve into the purported connections between the canyon and ancient pagan religions, as well as some of the paranormal experiences that have been reported over the years. Furthermore, we'll examine the deep spiritual significance the canyon holds for Native American tribes and their traditional beliefs about its origins.We will also consider the persistent questions surrounding the Smithsonian Institution and allegations of historical cover-ups, along with the reasons behind the restricted areas within the canyon that are off-limits to both air travel and visitors. Finally, we'll touch upon the debate regarding the canyon's formation – was it a gradual process carved by the Colorado River, or could it be the result of a more sudden, world-wide cataclysmic event such as Noah's flood?I hope you find this exploration as fascinating as I do!*Amy is a Christian Counselor and Coach:-To schedule an appointment: ⁠⁠https://www.biblicalguidancecounseling.com/appointments⁠⁠Amy teaches online verse by verse Bible studies:Rumble link: ⁠⁠https://rumble.com/c/BibleStudywithEyesontheright⁠⁠Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eyesontheright4.0/https://www.instagram.com/eyesontherightpodcast/

This Day in Legal History: Abraham Lincoln, InventorOn May 22, 1849, Abraham Lincoln was awarded U.S. Patent No. 6,469 for an invention designed to lift boats over shoals and other obstacles in shallow waterways. The device involved a system of bellows attached to the hull of a boat, which could be inflated to lift the vessel over obstructions. Lincoln conceived the idea after witnessing firsthand how flatboats became stranded on sandbars during his travels on the Mississippi River. Though the invention was never manufactured, Lincoln's patent represents a rare intersection of legal, political, and technological history.Lincoln's detailed model, which he carved himself, is now preserved at the Smithsonian Institution. His application demonstrated a firm grasp of both mechanics and the legal requirements of patent law, including the novelty and utility standards necessary for approval. Lincoln's interest in patents was not merely personal—he viewed the patent system as a key driver of American innovation and economic growth. In an 1858 lecture, he praised the patent system as adding "the fuel of interest to the fire of genius."This episode in Lincoln's life underscores the connection between law and invention in the 19th century. The U.S. patent system, formalized under the Patent Act of 1790 and modified several times by Lincoln's era, provided crucial protections to inventors during a time of rapid industrial development. Lincoln's engagement with the system as both an inventor and a lawyer reflects the broader legal culture of self-improvement and technological optimism in antebellum America.Matthew Lane, a 19-year-old student at Assumption University in Massachusetts, has agreed to plead guilty to charges stemming from a significant data breach at PowerSchool, a cloud-based education software company. Federal prosecutors allege Lane accessed PowerSchool's network in September 2024 using stolen contractor credentials, obtaining sensitive data on more than 60 million students and 10 million teachers. This data, including Social Security numbers and addresses, was later used in a $2.85 million bitcoin ransom demand.Lane transferred the stolen data to a server in Ukraine before the extortion attempt, which caused alarm among parents and school districts. The breach, which PowerSchool disclosed in January 2025, was reportedly linked to earlier extortion efforts targeting a telecommunications company, from which Lane and others attempted to extract a $200,000 ransom. The case marks the first public identification of a suspect in the PowerSchool breach, which has impacted numerous school districts.PowerSchool admitted to paying a ransom to prevent public exposure of the data. Lane faces charges including cyber extortion, aggravated identity theft, and unauthorized access to protected computers. If convicted, he will serve at least two years in prison. His attorney has not commented.Massachusetts college student to plead guilty to PowerSchool data breach | ReutersA federal judge in Philadelphia has rejected Vanguard Group's proposed $40 million settlement with investors who claimed they were hit with unexpected tax bills from its target-date mutual funds. U.S. District Judge John Murphy ruled that the deal provided "no value" to investors because it duplicated benefits already secured through a $135 million settlement Vanguard reached with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) earlier this year.In that SEC settlement, investors were promised compensation without having to pay legal fees or waive future claims. By contrast, the proposed class action settlement would have reduced investor payouts due to more than $13 million in attorneys' fees. Judge Murphy sided with an objecting class member who argued the SEC accord already gave investors the same benefits, making the class settlement redundant and financially disadvantageous.Both settlements stem from Vanguard's 2020 move to lower the minimum investment threshold for its lower-cost institutional target-date funds. This triggered a mass migration from higher-cost retail funds, prompting large redemptions that led to capital gains being passed on to remaining investors.Vanguard argued that rejecting the settlement might discourage firms from resolving regulatory and civil actions simultaneously. However, the court emphasized fairness to the class over procedural convenience.US judge rejects Vanguard $40 million mutual fund settlement, cites SEC accord | ReutersThe Trump administration has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to block a lower court order requiring it to provide documents and testimony about the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a White House office linked to Elon Musk's federal reform initiative. The watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) filed a lawsuit seeking transparency about DOGE's operations, arguing that it should be subject to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The administration contends DOGE is exempt because it functions within the White House as a presidential advisory body.A federal judge ruled that CREW's claims were likely valid and allowed limited discovery, including testimony from DOGE administrator Amy Gleason. The court rejected the administration's argument that such discovery violated separation of powers, stating that DOGE had not demonstrated any undue burden or justified confidentiality. The DC Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the lower court's order and noted the administration failed to raise the separation-of-powers defense earlier in the case.The Justice Department is now seeking emergency relief from the Supreme Court, arguing that allowing discovery into DOGE compromises executive confidentiality. Meanwhile, CREW maintains the office exercises substantial independent authority and should not be shielded from public scrutiny. The case raises key questions about the transparency of quasi-governmental offices within the executive branch.DOGE Asks US Supreme Court to Block Access to Its Records - Bloomberg This is a public episode.

Here is their tip on finding the best places.“ Jane and I, in fact, developed a whole theory. It's the pigs plus Jesus theory of barbecue. When you're in the deep south, if you go into a barbecue parlor and see a lot of religious iconography on the wall, chances are very good the barbecue is gonna be excellent,” Michael Stern on The Restaurant Guys Podcast 2005BioMichael and his wife Jane were trailblazing guides for over 40 years. After meeting at Yale, where they came to study art, they began a collaboration that has yielded over forty books including New York Times best sellers Elvis World and The Encyclopedia of Bad Taste.

How did the desert warfare in North Africa shape the fate of the war? And what was Operation Torch—and why was it a game-changer?

Die Museen in der amerikanischen Hauptstadt Washington sind weltberühmt – allen voran die kostenlosen Einrichtungen der Smithsonian Institution. Aus aller Welt besuchen Touristen das Air-and-Space-Museum oder das Museum of the American Indian.Präsident Donald Trump ist weniger begeistert. Die «unangemessene Ideologie» der Museen, wie er es nennt, gefällt ihm gar nicht. Dort würden «gezielte Versuche» unternommen, die Geschichte umzuschreiben, so Trump. Verantwortlich macht er eine «revisionistische Bewegung», eine Bewegung also, die bestehende historische Darstellungen ändern möchte. Etwa jene zur Sklaverei oder jene zur Vertreibung der amerikanischen Ureinwohner.Ende März schrieb Trump deshalb in einem Erlass: «Das unvergleichliche Erbe unserer Nation, das Freiheit, die Rechte des Einzelnen und das Glück der Menschen vorantreibt, wurde als rassistisch, sexistisch, unterdrückerisch oder anderweitig unrettbar mit Makeln behaftet dargestellt.» Neben den Museen will er auch auf die Lehrpläne der Schulen und die Forschungsschwerpunkte von Universitäten Einfluss nehmen.Ausserdem will Trump anlässlich des 250. Geburtstags der Streitkräfte mit einer grossen Militärparade in Washington ein neues historisches Bewusstsein wecken. Die Parade soll am 14. Juni stattfinden – dieser Tag ist auch Trumps 79. Geburtstag. In der amerikanischen Hauptstadt sind Militärparaden – anders als in Moskau, Teheran oder Pyongyang – jedoch unüblich.Was bezweckt Trump mit der angestrebten Umschreibung der amerikanischen Geschichte? Wie soll die Sklaverei umgedeutet werden? Und was hält Trump von Martin Luther King, dem Bürgerrechtler und Träger des Friedensnobelpreises? Darüber unterhält sich Christof Münger, Leiter des Ressorts International, mit Tina Kempin Reuter, Politikwissenschaftlerin in Birmingham, Alabama, in einer neuen Folge von «Alles klar, Amerika?».

Ep.242 Shaunté Gates (b. 1979) lives and works in Washington, D.C. He studied at Duke Ellington School of the Arts and Bowie State University. Early in his career, Gates trained in oil painting and portraiture. His past experience as a tattoo artist and television motion graphics editor caused a profound shift in his artistic practice. His recent work employs a multidisciplinary approach, layering photography, painting, and found text to create dreamlike landscapes that explore labyrinthine social constructs and the physical sites that house and perpetuate them. Echoing the aesthetics of paper theater, his compositions unfold like intricate stage sets, where layered imagery and shifting perspectives evoke a sense of constructed reality and theatrical illusion. Gates was a participating artist in the Smithsonian Institution's “Men of Change” four-year traveling exhibition spanning ten museums, including the International African American Museum in Charleston, SC, California African American Museum, Cincinnati Underground Railroad Museum and Washington State History Museum (2019-23). He has been awarded the Louis Comfort Tiffany Biennial Grant (2022) and residencies with The Nicholson Project (2023), The Kennedy Center (2019) and Washington Project for the Arts (2018; 2017). Gates has work in esteemed private collections and institutions such as the Studio Museum in Harlem and Munson, Utica, NY. He has completed many public art commissions including Transcending, a painting commemorating the 140th anniversary of Howard University School of Law.  Photo credit: Biko Gates Artist https://www.shauntegates.com/ Virginia Tech https://artscenter.vt.edu/exhibitions/shaunte-gates.html Sperone Westwater  https://www.speronewestwater.com/artists/shaunte-gates#tab:slideshow Marc Straus https://marcstraus.com/artists/98-shaunte-gates/ FAD Magazine https://fadmagazine.com/2025/03/03/marc-straus-gallery-now-represent-shaunte-gates/ Zidoun-Bossuyt https://zidoun-bossuyt.com/artists/shaunte-gates/ | https://zidoun-bossuyt.com/exhibitions/shaunte-gates-poppies-parachutes-iii-we-should-be-flying-by-now/ Smithsonian https://menofchange.si.edu/exhibit/artist-pairings/shaunte-gates/ The Roanoker  https://theroanoker.com/events/shaunt%C3%A9-gates-2025/ Phillips Collection https://www.phillipscollection.org/event/2024-08-25-collaging-shaunte-gates Brooklyn Rail https://brooklynrail.org/2023/10/artseen/Shaunt-Gates-In-Light-of-the-Hunt/ Culture Type https://www.culturetype.com/tag/shaunte-gates/ Washington Informer Bridge https://wibridgedc.com/the-transformative-power-of-found-objects-with-shaunte-gates/ RUSH Philanthropic https://rushphilanthropic.org/artist/shaunte-gates/

It is a philosophy, an ethical system, a way of learning to live as relatives with our human and more-than-human neighbours. This covenant has been called the “grandfather of the treaties,” and is also considered the grandmother of Canada's Constitution.

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order demanding the Smithsonian Institution stop telling the full story of the nation's past. The order attacks exhibits on racism, equity, identity, and inclusion, and threatens funding for museums like the National Museum of African American History and Culture. If they don't fall in line, Trump's new directive empowers Vice President J.D. Vance and his team to root out what they call divisive race-centered ideology from all Smithsonian properties. They've been instructed to rewrite museum programs, review staff appointments, and even dictate how American history should be interpreted. The Smithsonian, while technically not a federal agency, still receives more than 60 percent of its funding from Congress. That amounts to over $1 billion a year. His order directs the Office of Management and Budget to cut federal dollars from any exhibits that “divide Americans based on race.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

self-described loner, Joel Philip Myers developed his skills in relative isolation from the Studio Glass movement. With works inspired by a vast array of topics ranging from his deep love of the Danish countryside to Dr. Zharkov, the artist avoided elaborate sculpture in favor of substantial vessels that are simple yet powerful. States Myers: “In 1964, on the occasion of an exhibition titled Designed for Production: The Craftsman's Approach, I wrote in an essay in Craft Horizons magazine: ‘My approach to glass, as it is to clay, is to allow the material an expression of its own. Press the material to the utmost, and it will suggest ideas and creative avenues to the responsive artist.' The statement was sincere and enthusiastic, but decidedly naïf. I never thought when I wrote it that it would be the one statement of mine that would continue to be repeatedly quoted, throughout my 46- year-long career, as my defining philosophy. I have no defining philosophy. I am a visual artist, not a philosopher. Thoughts and ideas and opinions do not constitute a philosophy, and my thoughts and ideas and opinions have evolved and matured and changed in the time that has passed since 1964.” He continues: “As an artist I like to think of myself as a visitor in a maze, trying to find a solution to a dizzying puzzle. As in a maze, I have, through blunders and exploration, arrived at solutions, and embraced the manifold possibilities that the material offers: plasticity, transparency, opacity, translucency. I am sensitive to the wonders of the visual world and inspired by the forms and colors of the natural world. My training as a designer has enabled me to understand and exploit organization and structure, adding a rational perspective to my intuitive, emotional self.” Myers earned his degree in advertising design from Parsons School of Design in 1954. He studied in Copenhagen, Denmark, before earning a B.F.A. and M.F.A. in ceramics from the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University in the early 1960s. In 1963, he was hired as design director at Blenko Glass Company in Milton, West Virginia. Captivated by the drama of this thriving glass factory, he learned glassblowing through observation and practice.  In 1970, Myers established the nascent glass department at Illinois State University in Normal, Illinois, where he served as Distinguished Professor of Art for 30 years until he retired from teaching in 1997. He is an Honorary Lifetime Member, 2012 Lifetime Achievement Award Winner and past President of the Glass Art Society, a Fellow of the American Crafts Council, and the recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship. His work is represented in prominent museum collections around the world, including The Corning Museum of Glass, Corning, NY; The Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL; the National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC; the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, D.C; The Museum of Decorative Arts, Prague; Hokkaido Museum of Modern Art, Japan; Musee des Arts Decoratifs, Palais du Louvre, Paris, France; and Musee de Design et d'Arts Appliques Contemporains, Lausanne, Switzerland, amongst others. Of his sculpture, Myers states: “My work is concerned with drawing, painting, playing with color and imagery on glass. I work with simple forms and concentrate on the surface enrichment. I prefer the spherical, three-dimensional surface to a flat one, because as I paint and draw on the glass, the glass form receives the drawing, adapts to its shape, distorts and expands it as it clothes and envelops itself in my drawing. I feel a communication with the material, and a reciprocation from my subconscious, as I continually search for new insights into my unknown self.” Enjoy this enlightening conversation with Myers, who at 91 has a near photographic memory of the events and developments that spurred the Studio Glass movement forward in its early days, as well as the ideas and processes of his personal work in glass – some of the most successful and collected of its day.  

When William Temple Hornaday's exhibition of stuffed bison went on display at the Smithsonian Institution in 1888, it caused a sensation. Most visitors had never seen this majestic, hulking animal up close. And most probably thought it would be their only chance, since the bison had all but vanished from the wild.Some 140 years later, Kirk Johnson, director of the National Museum of Natural History, realized that the iconic display itself had vanished from the museum's collection. So he went on the road to see what had happened to it.In this episode, we trace the story of how the bison - or American buffalo - were driven right to the edge of extinction, severing a sacred relationship with Native people. Then we track how the species' catastrophic decline, as memorialized in a taxidermy masterpiece, gave rise to the early conservation movement that brought the bison back.With guest Rosalyn LaPier.See the artwork we discuss:William Temple Hornaday, by George Rufus BoyntonHornaday's taxidermy bison displayTheodore Roosevelt, by Peter A.

By 1903, inventors and adventurers in Britain and France were launching their own experimental aircraft skyward. In the U.S., crowds gathered outside Washington, D.C. to see Samuel Langley of the Smithsonian Institution test his highly-anticipated “aerodrome”, only to watch the machine crash in the Potomac River. But on December 17th, 1903, on the sand dunes of North Carolina's Outer Banks, Wilbur Wright climbed onto the lower wing of his homemade “Flyer” to make history.Order your copy of the new American History Tellers book, The Hidden History of the White House, for behind-the-scenes stories of some of the most dramatic events in American history—set right inside the house where it happened.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!
