...your articles on Twain, but I'm sick of reading that the 15th Amendment of 1869 granted former slaves the right to vote. The 15th Amendment granted only male ex-slaves the right to vote.

...overall record, the Harvard men’s tennis team relied on the depth of its lineup, particularly at the No. 5 and No. 6 singles spots.
