Finding Fiesta partners UCSB with local teachers for new perspectives on a century-old celebration UCSB partners with community institutions to provide teachers troves of Fiesta history as K-12 students reexamine and interpret the annual celebration through fresh eyes.

This summer, junior high and high school teachers collaborated with UCSB grad students and staff from the IHC, UCSB Library, and Santa Barbara Trust for Historic Preservation to conduct research on the history of community celebrations surrounding Fiesta and develop lesson plans for their students.

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chatβ€”and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. theatln.tc/IuULQFiY
