Slavery data added to Civil War park exhibits
Civil War sites in Manassas and Richmond now feature expanded materials on slavery, with letters and accounts from residents, soldiers, and former slaves. Park officials say Congress prompted the shift, while critics warn of political correctness and debate persists over setting cause and context for the war.

Faded Locke town reborn along historic Chinese settlement
Locke California once a Chinese immigrant hub with a main street and a one room schoolhouse now faces revival as Sacramento County plans to buy the town site. The Alien Land Law of 1913 barred land ownership by non citizens, driving residents out while later efforts seek preservation as a historical gem. Ping Lee recalls a bustling past as leases tied owners to land and loans remained scarce for repairs. The town, once 600 in the 1920s, now has under a dozen Chinese residents and tours attract visitors to galleries and eateries.
