Some of the most interesting stories, articles I read, I have found accidentally when looking for something completely unrelated to my original search on Google.
Such a search uncovered some interesting stories yesterday morning.
The story of Jesse Owens in the 10 listed on this web site I was familiar with. The story about George Washington quashing the Newburgh Conspiracy in 1783 I had never heard. The story carried even more significance with what happened on January 6, 2021.
Scroll through and look at all 10. Each is short, no more than a few paragraphs.

Another is a story originally published in 2016. You may be familiar with the story, I was not.
The memorial will be the first in the country to pay tribute to the more than 4,000 black victims of lynching who were killed between 1877 and 1950. The 6-acre monument will feature a series of columns, each representing a county where “racial terror lynchings” took place, according to the Equal Justice Initiative. The names of the victims will be engraved on the columns.
