The arguments we’re having today aren’t new. In fact, we were having many of the same ones more than 150 years ago during Reconstruction. 

As we reflect on America’s 250th anniversary, Malcolm Gladwell and I got together to discuss this pivotal time in our nation’s history, and the work that remains. 

Check out our conversation on @HigherGroundMedia’s YouTube channel at the link in my bio, and make sure to listen to Malcolm’s podcast, Reconstruction: The Unfinished Promise.

💋 Recurring across cultures and centuries, the kiss has appeared throughout art history as a potent symbol of desire, spirituality and human connection. From ancient Roman frescoes and medieval religious imagery to iconic modern works like Auguste Rodin’s The Kiss (1882), Gustav Klimt’s gold-laden The Kiss (1907–08), and Constantin Brâncuși’s stark, minimalist The Kiss (1907), artists have returned to the gesture again and again. #HISTORY

One of the most anticipated events at the Winter Olympics, figure skating dazzles audiences with daring jumps, dizzying spins and glamorous costumes. The artistry and athleticism of the modern-day sport, however, bears little resemblance to its origins when skaters diligently traced geometric patterns—or “figures”—on the ice. The first organized figure skating club—which formed in the 1740s in Edinburgh, Scotland—required new members to pass an entrance test in which they completed a circle with each foot and jumped over a stack of three hats. In 1772, Englishman Robert Jones penned figure skating’s first instructional book, A Treatise on Skating, which offered directions on how to create shapes such as circles, serpentine lines, spirals and figure eights on the ice.  #HISTORY

Flex appeal! Long before FitTok, there was Eugen Sandow. In an era of dumbbells and medicine balls, the 19th-century bodybuilder built not only muscle but a fitness empire rivaling that of any modern-day wellness influencer. The world-famous Sandow endorsed nutritional supplements, sold exercise equipment and dispensed “lifestyle content” in books and magazines while amassing a global following that any social media personality would envy. #HISTORY
