Is There a Secret Chamber Hidden Behind Mount Rushmore? It Is the uncompleted Hall of Records that is behind the faces. When construction stopped on the Mountain on October 31, 1941, the room was not finished due to the decision of the National Park Service.  It Goes back about 50–75 feet and it holds some tools and maintenance items for the annual inspection of the faces. It's Not exactly "National Treasure: Book of Secrets," but South Dakota's famous Mount Rushmore does have a bit more going on than meets the eye. In the 2007 movie, Benjamin Franklin Gates, played by Nicholas Cage, pulls a hidden latch and reveals a cave filled with treasure. In real life, the "hidden treasure," so to speak, was designed more for future historians than it is for Hollywood. That's All to say, though, that although there aren't tunnels crisscrossing behind the heads of the presidents on Mount Rushmore, there is one, incomplete chamber hiding behind Abraham Lincoln...

In the years before the Civil War, New York police officers sold free Black Americans into enslavement. According To the Emancipator, a historical abolitionist newspaper, Riker was the leader of a group of officials known as the Kidnapping Club, who “actively collaborated” to both send and sell free blacks in New York who were accused of being fugitives to slaveowners in the South without due process. This year’s clashes between protestors and the police from Portland to Atlanta to Kenosha are the latest flashpoints in the long history of policing in America. While the police today emerged from a hodge-podge of national and international iterations, one of the United States’ earliest and most storied forces,  The New York City police, offers modern Americans a lesson in the intractability of problems between the black community and the officers sworn to uphold the law. That long history is both bleak and demoralizing. But this past also reminds us that real change will only happen ...

As he was a member of the Gaelic league as well as a founding member of the Irish Volunteers, and he participated in the Easter Rising of 1916. During a speech he gave in 1917, he was charged with sedition and arrested.  He was one of forty prisoners at Mountjoy Prison who went on strike demanding “prisoner of war” status. Ashe was force fed, and it led to his death.
