Reopening of Robert E. Lee house highlights experience of enslaved residents

Description

The newly reopened Arlington House near Washington, a mansion where Robert E. Lee lived for decades before joining the Confederacy as its commander during the US Civil War, now aims to tell a more nuanced story of the estate by highlighting the experience of enslaved residents as well. "Through the rehabilitation, we’ve put effort, energy, resources in understanding how to better elevate the story of the enslaved people," says Aaron LaRocca, a national park ranger.

  • The MINI Concept Aceman. Product Highlight - Experience Modes

    The MINI Concept Aceman interior is also dominated by a reduced design with clear contours and carefully executed details. It combines innovative technology with newly interpreted, yet typical MINI design features.The concept car’s cockpit is consistently reduced to the bare essentials, just as the designer of the classic MINI had in mind in 1959. Alec Issigonis designed an interior which, in addition to the seats, steering wheel and gear lever, needed nothing more than a central round instrument and toggle switch bar to experience unrivalled driving pleasure.Wide-open and gently curved surfaces in the area of the door panels and the dashboard give a generous feeling of space. The large panoramic glass roof of the MINI Concept Aceman provides an ambience flooded in light. Its glass surface is patterned by the transverse and diagonal struts of the roof rack, whose structure picks up on the Union Jack flag motif, reminding us of the brand’s origins when gazing up at the sky from the interior.

  • Trump Gave Secret Service Protections To His Kids Before Leaving Office

    Former President Donald Trump granted extended Secret Service protections to his four adult children. This is also extended to their spouses, according to Business Insider. He made this move before he left the White House in a last effort of wielding power. This expensive, full-time security detail is an unexpected move for most. The extended security detail could cost taxpayers millions of dollars. Given the amount of traveling that the Trump children do, the cost could be astronomical.
