This beautiful sculpture was built by the Irish people in their own country to honor the American Choctaw Indian tribe. They were grateful because in 1847 the Choctaw people sent money to Ireland when they learned that Irish people were starving due to the potato famine.

This is a really good interactive visualization to learn why the census matters, how parties use gerrymandering to gain power, and what redistricting could mean for your home state. Terrific for a classroom lesson, via @NYTimes. #sschat #edchat
