End Game

A Night at the Garden

On February 20, 1939, more than 20,000 Americans gathered in Madison Square Garden to celebrate the rise of Nazism.

PERIOD. END OF SENTENCE.

In the rural village of Hapur, outside of Delhi, India, women hope to make feminine hygiene supplies easily available and end the stigma surrounding menstruation.
