1838 was quite a year! Here's a glimpse of some notable events that happened: The Trail of Tears: The forced relocation of Cherokee people from their ancestral lands in the southeastern United States to Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma) began. This tragic event resulted in the deaths of thousands of Cherokee people. Invention of the Telegraph: Samuel Morse first demonstrated his telegraph system, revolutionizing long-distance communication. Victorian Era in Full Swing: In England, Queen Victoria was crowned, ushering in an era of significant social and industrial change. 📸 📷 🖼 First Photograph of a Person: Louis Daguerre captured the first known photograph of a person, a seemingly mundane image of a man getting his shoes shined on a Parisian street, but a landmark moment in the history of photography. 📖 Charles Darwin's Theory Takes Shape: Charles Darwin began formulating his theory of evolution by natural selection, which would later revolutionize the scientific understanding of life on Earth. And, of course, it was the year Margaret Knight was born! It seems 1838 was a year of significant beginnings.

Wishing for a Tiny Bit more Peace on Earth please! Wishing for Peace on Earth is a wonderfully idealistic New Year’s tradition. How many similar greetings did you receive, or deliver already this year? Unfortunately, based upon a quick Google search, there is little precedence for a conflict-free period during written human history (taking into account that enslavement and colonization actions are implicit warfare). Thus, Lu, Lola, Wreek Kundu and myself – we want to start a more realistic tradition. Wishing for a Tiny Bit more Peace on Earth please. Puzzle piece by puzzle piece, building Peace together.
