n March 1995, a routine morning at Sullivan’s Auto Salvage in River, Massachusetts, took a chilling turn when workers discovered human remains inside a crushed blue Buick.

Ghosts on a Tree (1933) was painted by Franz Sedlacek (1891-1945).
The ghosts are a combination of a skull with a body dressed in ragged clothes. And the ghosts don't really seem to enjoy themselves. They typically symbolize death, but the sun in the background may add a twist here. Is the cloud moving in front of the sun? Then we may interpret this as impending death. Or is the sun coming out from behind the clouds? Then we may be looking at hope.

Nearly a hundred years ago, a cemetery in Florida quietly disappeared from public awareness. It had served the African American community, but as the city grew, its location was forgotten and eventually lost to development. A local newspaper began investigating, uncovering old records that suggested a public housing complex may have been built over the burial site.
The find prompted calls for recognition and respect. Residents and historians pushed for memorials and preservation, highlighting how easily marginalized histories can be erased and how vital it is to recover and honor them.
