 | Christopher Columbus Christopher Columbus (1451-May 20, 1506) was an Italian navigator and explorer credited with the discovery of the Americas. A man of great leadership and courage, he often used "converting non-believers" as a reason for his explorations. Christopher Columbus believed that instead of sailing east on the path to find India that land could be reached in just weeks by sailing west! His voyages across the Atlantic Ocean began an effort at exploration and colonization of the Western Hemisphere. After securing the support of Queen Isabella of Spain, he finally set sail for the new world. After three weeks of sailing and no sight of land, his crew threatened mutiny. But at the moment when all seemed lost, land was discovered! |

 | Fine Arts Magnet School Challenges Young Talent In the early 1970s, in an effort to consolidate funds and provide young people opportunities to channel their talents, many U.S. schools began "magnet" programs. There, like-minded students could join at a single center to study math or science, a foreign language or the performing and fine arts. The Visual Arts Center at Albert Einstein High School in Kensington, Maryland, is one of the oldest programs in the country to train budding artists. VOA's Rosanne Skirble takes us to the school to show why it is working for many students. |
