FROM TODAY'S FEATURED ARTICLE

St George and the Dragon atop Mells War Memorial

Mells War Memorial is a First World War memorial in the village of Mells,
Somerset, in south-western England. Designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, the memorial
takes the form of a marble column topped by a sculpture of Saint George slaying
a dragon (pictured). At the base of the column, the names of the village's war
dead are inscribed on stone panels. The memorial is flanked by rubble walls in
local stone, on top of which grows a yew hedge. Low stone benches protrude from
the walls to allow wreaths to be laid. The memorial is one of multiple buildings
and structures in Mells designed by Lutyens. The memorial was unveiled on
26 June 1921 by Brigadier-General Arthur Asquith, whose brother is commemorated
on it and whose father was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom for much of the
war. Additional panels were fixed to the wall to commemorate the Second World
War. It is a grade II* listed building and since 2015 has been part of a
national collection of Lutyens's war memorials. (Full article...)

FROM TODAY'S FEATURED LIST

Kublai Khan

There were eleven emperors of the Yuan dynasty, an imperial dynasty of China,
from 1271 to 1368. Proclaimed on 18 December 1271 by Kublai Khan (pictured), the
Yuan dynasty succeeded the Song dynasty and preceded the Ming dynasty. The list
of emperors includes both Kublai's successors as rulers of China and his
predecessors up to his grandfather Genghis Khan, who was retrospectively
presented as the founder of the dynasty. Yuan rulers were nominally superior to
those of the other three post-Mongol states, but each was de facto independent
of the others and occupied with their own territories. Although the reigns of
Kublai and his successor Temür were generally peaceful, weaknesses in the Yuan
administration later became apparent and led to a gradual breakdown of political
stability. By the mid-14th century, the Yuan state became impossible to govern,
and in 1368 the last emperor, Toghon Temür, was forced to flee China.

TODAY'S FEATURED PICTURE

Shirley Graham Du Bois (November 11, 1896 – March 27, 1977) was an
American-Ghanaian writer, playwright, composer, and activist for
African-American causes. Born in Indianapolis to an Episcopal minister, she
moved with her family throughout the United States as a child. After marrying
her first husband, she moved to Paris to study music at the Sorbonne. After her
divorce and return to the United States, Graham Du Bois took positions at Howard
University and Morgan College before completing her BA and master's at Oberlin
College in Ohio. Her first major work was the opera Tom-Tom, which premiered in
Cleveland in 1932. She married W. E. B. Du Bois in 1951, and the couple later
lived in Ghana, Tanzania and China. She won several prizes, including an
Anisfield-Wolf Book Award for her 1949 biography of Benjamin Banneker. This
photograph of Graham Du Bois was taken by Carl Van Vechten in 1946.
