Showing results for "The Forgotten" in Politics & Government

I’m Karen Fatula, a journalist and podcaster focused on hyperlocal, nonpartisan news from Ohio Appalachia — the part of Ohio that too often gets left out of the conversation.

My goal is simple: to provide fair, factual, and balanced reporting that reflects real life in the Ohio Valley and Appalachian counties. Forgotten Ohio tells the stories other outlets overlook — with respect...

Designed for delight, instruction, and inspiration, this collection includes nearly as many women as men, and nearly as many people before 1900 as after— little-known or forgotten heroes who deserve to be remembered.

Though largely forgotten today, one of the most destructive terrorist groups in the United States was the Galleanists, a fiery band of Italian anarchists active during the early 1900s. In America's Forgotten Terrorists, Jeffrey D. Simon shows how alienation and frustration among segments of a community were transformed into a militant extremist movement. The Galleanists introduced terrorist tactics and strategies that are still used today: they were the first group to send package bombs across the country and to exploit the media for their own advantage.

McNeil Island in South Puget Sound is the Alcatraz you've never heard of. The now-abandoned prison on McNeil operated for 136 years. Today, the island is home to the Special Commitment Center, which houses Washington state's "sexually violent predators."
