'Awop-bop-aloobop alop-bam-boom!': Why Little Richard's hit song Tutti Frutti was so risqué
When the single was released in 1955, it was a big hit – but only after the original lyrics were changed. In 1972, the singer told the BBC that "...

In 2012, an Irish amateur historian, Catherine Corless, discovered that there were no burial records for the 796 children who died at the St. Mary's Mother and Baby Home in the west-of-Ireland town of Tuam, which was run by the Bon Secours order of nuns. Tests confirmed that they were buried in a mass grave at the site of St. Mary's, which was demolished in the 1970s. This led to an investigation into the Mother and Baby Home network, which estimated around 9,000 children and babies died across 18 institutions over a 75-year period. The mortality rate for children in these homes was around 15 percent. Now, excavation has begun at the site of St. Mary's. The Dial's Jade Wilson took a look at what happened there, and spoke to people who lived at the institution, and family members of those who may have died there.

A federal judge has ordered the Pentagon to restore nearly 600 books to schools serving military families.

When Alice Gooblar-Perovic, Aahana Gupta, and Lydia Cruce were freshmen at Iowa City West High School, they learned that thousands of books, including "The Handmaid's Tale" and "Nineteen Minutes," were going to be pulled from classrooms across her state. This was in order to comply with Senate File 496, which said books and school materials must be "age appropriate." So they started a Banned Book Club. Two years later, the club is still going and growing, and the law is in trouble — the part of it that affected school libraries was temporarily blocked by a federal judge, while enforcement of book restrictions remains frozen under a second temporary injunction.
