Today marks 60 years since the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama during the 1963 race riots.
In response to this tragic event, the Welsh people gifted a stained-glass window to the church, designed by John Petts, known as the #WalesWindow 🏴🇺🇸

Fascinating, amazing, remarkable @washingtonpost story of DMV resident, Vaughn Smith who can carry on conversations in 24 languages.
He’s now learning Welsh and is on a 330-day streak on @duolingo #anhygoel 🏴

“A real, live polyglot.”
In a city where diplomats and embassies abound, where interpreters can command six-figure salaries, where language proficiency is résumé rocket fuel, Vaughn Smith was a savant with a secret. wapo.st/3KbR1a3
