The Carousel on the National Mall is back !! Reinstalled with repairs so the horses are as gorgeous as ever, with the historical marker installed, too, telling of the ride's link to civil rights history. Here's a Smithsonian Magazine article about this: www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-...

"RIDING INTO HISTORY" review in Harvard Magazine: "Nathan recounts the case as both biography and legal history ...illuminating an under-studied chapter of the civil rights movement. Keys's landmark 1955 victory closed a loophole ...used to maintain segregation in interstate travel."

What a surprise! On April 19, 2026, at an event celebrating the new Duke book on the late Sarah Keys Evans -- RIDING INTO HISTORY -- the Major Reading Blount Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution presented an award & medal honoring this civil rights hero (to be sent to her sister).
