(CNN) —  Temple “Tempie” Cummins mira estoicamente a la cámara con los brazos cruzados sobre su regazo, sentada rígidamente en una silla en su patio trasero polvoriento y yermo, con su choza de madera curtida a sus espaldas. Su rostro oscuro y arrugado refleja años de pobreza y preocupación.La desvanecida imagen en blanco y negro de Cummins de 1937 la tomó un historiador que se detuvo en su casa de Jasper, Texas, para preguntarle por su infancia durante la esclavitud. Cummins, que no sabía su edad exacta, compartió historias de ininterrumpida desdicha hasta que relató cómo ella y su madre descubrieron que habían sido liberadas.¿Qué es el Día de la Emancipación (Juneteenth) y por qué se celebra el 19 de junio?Contó que a su madre, cocinera de la familia de su antiguo esclavista, le gustaba esconderse en el rincón de la chimenea para escuchar a escondidas las conversaciones de la cena. Un día de 1865, escuchó al esclavista decir que la esclavitud había terminado, per...

Oversized vehicles include those with more than two axles or longer than 25 feet.The express lanes were designed to relieve congestion for high-country travelers on peak periods like holidays and weekends.

Mets Notebook: Grant Hartwig set to make big league debut

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 02:21:07 GMT

HOUSTON — Grant Hartwig’s decision to forego medical school has seemingly paid off. The right-hander was called up to the Mets from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday and is set to make his major league debut this week against the Houston Astros.Syracuse Mets manager Dick Scott told Hartwig after the team returned from a series in Buffalo on Sunday. It was unexpected, but then again, Hartwig’s entire career has been a little unexpected.“Dick Scott told me right after we got off the bus yesterday,” Hartwig said Monday at Minute Maid Park before the Mets began a three-game series against the Houston Astros. “We came back from Buffalo last night and then found out around all of my teammates. It was a great experience got to call my parents afterwards.”When Hartwig was playing college baseball at Miami (Ohio), a professional career wasn’t on his radar. His focus was on a different kind of baseball career: Hartwig wanted to be an orthopedic surgeo...

JULIAN, Calif. -- The body of a hiker missing since last Friday at Three Sisters Falls in Julian was found Monday, authorities said.Around 1:30 p.m., volunteer divers with the San Diego County Sheriff's Department Reserve Unit recovered the body underwater in the middle pool of Three Sisters Falls, Lt. William Amavisca with the San Diego County Sheriff's Department said in a news release. The area where the 27-year-old man was found was the same location where he was last seen on June 16, per law enforcement.Amavisca explained that the water current was too dangerous for divers to attempt a search underwater until Monday. “Visibility alone was bad, on top of the strength of the current. A few factors, including the closing of a dam upstream, have helped bring the flow of water down. A lot of the debris in the water has settled, making it easier to see, but with that being said, it's actually going to still be a difficult dive for our divers," Amavisca said.
