VIDEO: You might not expect to see a taco truck serving up food at a mosque but nothing brings people together more naturally and more easily than food. That’s the idea behind #TacoTrucksAtEveryMosque, which aims to unite Latinos and Muslims. The idea is not only to promote mutual understanding, but also to fight the stereotypes and offensive rhetoric that often surround both Latinos and Muslims.
ON THIS DAY IN AMERICAN HISTORY
On June 18, 1873, Susan B. Anthony is fined $100 for trying to cast a vote in the 1872 presidential election. The social reformer, who campaigns for equal rights for both women and African Americans, refuses to pay the fine and authorities take no further action against her. Five years later, Anthony will be instrumental in presenting Congress with an amendment that gives women the right to vote. However, it will be almost another 50 years before American women are actually allowed to vote. (Photo: Susan B. Anthony circa 1855)
President Trump says the United States will not be a migrant camp or refugee holding facility. The president spoke out about immigration amid rising criticism over his administration’s decision to separate children from parents trying to enter the country illegally. 
VIDEO: Many US cities don’t have neighborhood grocery stores in lower-income areas. The people who live in those disadvantaged places often have to take public transportation to get to the nearest store, which may be several kilometers away. But now people in Baltimore, Maryland, can walk to a converted warehouse and buy quality food at a low cost thanks to a new kind of grocery store.
Native American Timothy Ward identifies as both a man and a woman, and is known as a Two-Spirit. Derived from the Ojibwe language, the term was chosen in 1990 to serve as a ‘pan-Indian’ term for indigenous people who don’t fit into any normative gender role. But even though there’s a specific term for people like Ward, acceptance doesn’t always come easy.
VIDEO: River commuter Gabe Horchler beats Washington-area traffic by rowing to his job at the Library of Congress in the nation’s capital. He gets his outdoor time each day and also throws in a little cycling, all of which makes for a far less stressful commute to work.
VIDEO: For 25 years, Oprah Winfrey’s daytime talk show explored contemporary American history and culture, especially when it came to issues of power and gender. The Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture has a new exhibit dedicated to the legendary star, which takes a look at how Oprah became a cultural icon who helped shape modern-day America.
