Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons:
-We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S.
-The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous.

The National Park Service eliminated references to transgender people from its Stonewall National Monument web page, removing the “T” in references to LGBTQ+ on the official site for the Greenwich Village monument, which marks a milestone in the fight for gay rights.

Today, I finished reading "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl" (1861) by Harriet Jacobs. What a heartbreaking, inspiring testament! Every American should read it. Let us take courage from those who had the courage to resist oppression and injustice in their time, and be worthy of their examples.
