"What we are meant to commemorate on Thanksgiving isn’t merely a mythologized version of our origins," our columnist Bret Stephens writes. "It’s a celebration of American rebirth — and of the possibilities, personal and political, that go with it."

In 1979, Jimmy Carter had 32 solar panels installed on the roof of the White House. They were removed seven years later under Ronald Reagan.
But they found new homes at a college in Maine, where they continued to generate power for years, and eventually ended up scattered around the U.S. and China.

The panels, removed under Ronald Reagan, found new homes from Maine to China. And their legacy still reverberates.

The ancient Colosseum in Rome has witnessed some historic battles, with toga-clad crowds once packing the gigantic venue to watch gladiators slug it out against opponents including lions and baboons.
