Barbara Jordan—a Black woman from Houston’s Fifth Ward—crossed every line drawn to keep her out: the color line, the gender line, the sexuality line, the Mason-Dixon line. And when, 49 years ago this week, the nation asked who would speak for America in crisis, she answered. With conviction. With the Constitution. And with a voice they never forgot.

This frieze from Fulton County, Georgia shows "Medicine's battle with Death." Note the rod with two snakes. Many mistake it for the Rod of Asclepius (the traditional symbol of healing). However, this is the Caduceus, symbol of commerce. A common error in the USA.

L’imagination débordante des #Français à l’égard du #Québec n’est pas nouvelle. Voici un "Tramway à patins," paru dans le journal parisien le Nouveau-Monde (1883). Si l’on a cru à #Paris, on n’en a jamais vu la trace à #Montréal. #histodons #histoire @histodons

Gravure dont le titre est Tramway à patins.
Tiré par un cheval, le tramway a 8 fenêtres (tel un ancien autobus de la ville), une cheminée, 4 patins et un conducteur. Il y a également un homme qui l'approche et un autre accroché en arrière. Tout le monde est vêtu de grands manteaux et de bonnets.


So, I am asking the #Medieval #Histodons community, because I am still not giving up on my storytelling wish-upon-a-star:

Does anyone know anything about Girart D'Amiens' "Escanor" maybe maybe getting an English (or Spanish, or Hungarian) translation?...
