Schloss Evenburg – architektonisches Juwel in Leer, Ostfriesland

Senioren um die Welt

Schloss Evenburg ist ein einmaliges Gesamtkunstwerk, das auch überregional von Bedeutung ist. Es besteht aus dem Ensemble von dem eigentlichen Schloss, dem schönen englischen Landschaftsgarten und der Vorburg. Bereits im Jahr 1642 wurde die erste Evenburg als barockes Wasserschloss von Oberst Erhard Reichsfreiherr von Ehrentreuter erbaut. 1861 – 1862 wurde es im neugotischen Stil umgebaut. Über Jahrhunderte gehörte das Schloss der Familie der Grafen von Wedel, seit 1975 ist der Landkreis Leer der Eigentümer.

Juneteenth: A Journey from Then to Now

From Behind the Pen

Image Credit: Linnaea Mallette

When I began researching my family tree, there was so much of the past, many unanswered questions that I am not sure I will ever uncover the answers to them. While I achieved a lot regarding education and my exposure to things my ancestors never experienced, I realize they were exposed to horrifying treatment and made sacrifices I could never fathom. I do not take my gratitude for granted. Looking back, I realize that my freedom is not free because a huge price was paid by those who came before me, whether they were family or not.

It’s rather sad to witness some who have expressed eliminating the discussion of pivotal historical events that may not have occurred in the most positive light. They believe that people need to get over it and stop discussing it by rewriting more sanitized versions or completely eliminating certain parts…

Decolonizing conservation: Seven principles

Darcy Hitchcock

The western view of conservation has been to protect the land from people. But what Ken Burns referred to as America’s Best Idea, our National Parks, involved expelling native people from their own lands, lands that they had stewarded and protected for centuries.

Why Emancipation, Parenting, and Education All Matter on Day 16/67

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

   First of all, no one can be free in any way without legal freedom, from the first Compensated Emancipation in DC,  which had long been celebrated as Emancipation Day on April 16th, with a parade, EmanDayDC even, through the early 1900s or so, in The District, to the final end of that process, for areas in rebellion to the Union, on Juneteenth in Texas, although most border states like Maryland, which had remained part of the Union, had also emancipated slaves, except for Delaware and Kentucky.  Slaves in those states had to wait until ratification of the 13th Amendment.

      Then, no one can be entirely free of self-doubts without a loving, respectful, and supportive father.
    Finally, no one can be wholly free to expand and thrive without education of various types.
