When has an individual convicted of a felony fully repaid their debt to society? When should they be welcomed back into the fabric of civic life as a contributing and engaged citizen? And what can society gain if, instead of pushing people away from the democratic process, the United States made the voting experience more inclusive? These are the fundamental questions behind the documentary film, Out to Vote, by Samuel George. Set in Baltimore in the runup to the 2020 US Presidential Election, the documentary follows formerly incarcerated individuals who have become leaders for democracy and voting advocacy in their community. Nicole Hanson-Mundell and Bobby Perkins of Out for Justice, and Monica Cooper of the Maryland Justice Project are featured as they engage marginalized citizens who have been led to believe either that their vote does not matter, or that they would not be welcome at the polls. In an era of political disengagement and an entrenched malaise of partisan nihilism, the film shows these community leaders working tirelessly to retether Americans to their democracy. The film also demonstrates the power that access to democracy itself can have on individuals. Mr. Perkins, for example, was incarcerated for 37 years, and has spent the majority of his life behind bars. In Out to Vote, viewers follow Bobby as he walks some of Baltimore?s toughest streets, engaging anyone and everyone he passes, an activity that appears to have given a newfound meaning to his life.

After Rome fell, Europe spent a thousand years in its Middle Ages. Its art shows how the light of civilization flickered in monasteries and on Europe's fringes: Christian Byzantium, Moorish Spain, and pagan Vikings. Then, around A.D. 1000, Europe rebounded. The High Middle Ages brought majestic castles, radiant Gothic cathedrals, and exquisite art that dazzled the faithful and the secular alike.
The Romans gave Europe its first taste of a common culture-and awe-inspiring art. From its groundbreaking architecture to its statues, mosaics, and frescos, Rome engineered bigger and better than anyone before. At its peak, the Roman Empire was a society of unprecedented luxury, with colossal arenas for entertaining the masses and giant monuments to egotistical emperors. And then it fell.
As the Ice Age glaciers melted, European civilization was born-and with it, so was art. From the Stone Age came prehistoric art: mysterious tombs, mighty megaliths, and vivid cave paintings. Then the Egyptians and the Greeks laid the foundations of Western art-creating a world of magical gods, massive pyramids, sun-splashed temples, and ever-more-lifelike statues.
