Visitors to the U.S. Capitol will now have a visible marker of the siege there on Jan. 6, 2021 and a reminder of the officers who fought and were injured that day. Steps from the Capitol’s West Front and where the worst of the fighting occurred, workers quietly have installed a plaque honoring the officers, three years after it was required by law to be erected. The plaque was placed on the Senate side of the hallway because that chamber voted unanimously in January to install it after House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., had delayed putting it up. “On behalf…
Emma Oliver grew up around planes. She says that’s what sparked her interest in aviation. “Honestly, since I was a child, I really loved aviation,” Oliver said. “With my aunts being flight attendants and my grandfather being a ground crew member for Continental and now United, and my uncle also being an air traffic controller, I was always taking flights, being at the airport, seeing planes flying over.” But it wasn’t until the Mile High Flight Program introduced her to a Black woman pilot that she felt inspired to soar higher than she ever imagined. “It was a really great experience…
