East Tennessee State University unveils powerful new statues honoring the first 5 African American students who helped integrate the campus in the late 1950s.
Pioneers: Eugene Caruthers, Elizabeth Watkins Crawford, George L. Nichols, Mary Luellen Owens Wagner, and Clarence McKinney.
Their courage and legacy now stand tall for future generations. The statues, titled “The Path” by sculptor Austen Brantley, were unveiled on October 25, 2025. History remembered and honored. 👏🏾

In 2011, Japanese telecom company Docomo created one of the most beautiful adverts we've ever seen.

A giant xylophone in Kyushu playing Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" with a wooden ball rolling down its keys.

Now this is one wild story. The amount of lawsuits coming down the pipeline with stories like this is going to be astronomical.

They don’t make commercials like this anymore

[La femme merveilleuse invisible @larwoolf]

A scene from Looking for Richard, Al Pacino’s documentary about Shakespeare.

This man, homeless, a beggar, someone most people would walk past without a second glance, someone not thought to be worth a dime, speaks about Shakespeare with remarkable clarity and perspective.

In an ironic, and some would say cruel twist of fate, Michael B. Jordan’s middle name is actually “Basketball”

[Ben's Chili Bowl @benschilibowl]

Virginia Ali co-opened Ben's Chili Bowl at 24 years old. She drove her kids to school in the morning, worked the counter starting at 11, picked them up in the afternoon & then went back to Ben's. At 92, we are blessed that she is still here with us & greeting guests most days.
