Did you know that some of the first park rangers were African American? Known as the Buffalo Soldiers, these men were assigned by the U.S. Army to protect national parks in the West before the @NatlParkService was created.
It’s a wonderful day for wildlife & public lands! Today @realDonaldTrump signed the Great American Outdoors Act. The Act provides millions of dollars each year for improving America’s national wildlife refuges & other public lands & waters. #DOIDelivers Photo: USFWS
The Appalachian Trail — the 2,200-mile trail stretching from Georgia to Maine — is at the center of a Supreme Court case involving a proposed gas pipeline.
Environmental groups are challenging the legality of a permit that would allow the pipeline. https://t.co/6MJMmUestN
Our wildlife inspectors recently seized about 1,400 pounds of dried shark fins at the Miami Port of Entry. The shipment violated the Lacey Act and included CITES listed species. The total value of the shipment is estimated at around $1 million.
Kobe was so much more than an athlete, he was a family man. That was what we had most in common. I would hug his children like they were my own and he would embrace my kids like they were his. His baby girl Gigi was born on the same day as my youngest daughter Me’Arah.
Kobe was a legend on the court and just getting started in what would have been just as meaningful a second act. To lose Gianna is even more heartbreaking to us as parents. Michelle and I send love and prayers to Vanessa and the entire Bryant family on an unthinkable day.
A bronze sculpture depicting a black man with dreads sitting on a horse, wearing a hoodie and Nikes, has been installed by artist Kehinde Wiley in Richmond, Va.
It was built in response to a nearby statue of a Confederate general.

President Trump has issued pardons for two Army officers accused of war crimes in Afghanistan and restored the rank of a Navy SEAL who was acquitted of murder in Iraq.
Some say the pardons, while legal, could undermine the military justice system. https://t.co/bZmMTfH81p
