Lecompton Pride Revives Abandoned High School as Community Hub
The Lecompton Community Pride volunteers transformed the vacant Lecompton High School into a thriving civic center. They opened a 20 hour weekly town library, rehabbed the theater and a youth studio, and created spaces for a sewing circle, clothing shop, and senior events. The group raised 5000 at its largest fundraiser and faces about 20000 annual operating costs, but locals praise the impact and pledge ongoing support.

Drones put face on costs of war
Leonard Pitts Jr. argues that drone warfare exposes the moral cost of conflict. He recalls Tokyo’s 1945 firestorm and Hiroshima, then links historical brutality to modern precision strikes.
