This order authorized their forced relocation and internment in camps during World War II, representing one of the most severe civil rights violations in United States history.

    The Discovery of Pluto: A Search for [Deep Dive] - February 18th, 2026

    February 18th serves as a powerful reminder of how individual conviction and scientific persistence can reshape our world. In 1930, American astronomer Clyde Tombaugh identified Pluto at the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, resolving a decades-long hunt for a theoretical ninth planet and sparking a legacy that continued through its 2006 reclassification. The day also carries a solemn weight, marking the 1943 arrest of Sophie Scholl and the White Rose resistance members by the Gestapo for their distribution of anti-Nazi leaflets. Their bravery in the face of certain execution stands as a testament to moral resistance. Beyond these milestones, we honor the legacies of physicist Alessandro Volta, literary icon Toni Morrison, and hip-hop architect Dr. Dre. These figures represent the intersection of scientific innovation, cultural mastery, and the unyielding human spirit.
