In August 1908, a white mob attacked Springfield, Illinois’s Black community, destroying homes and businesses and lynching two Black men. National outrage over the violence helped spur the movement that created the NAACP the following year.

StarDict, developed by Hu Zheng (胡正), is a free GUI released under the GPL-3.0-or-later license for accessing StarDict dictionary files (a dictionary shell). It is the successor of StarDic, developed by Ma Su'an (馬蘇安), continuing its version numbers.
According to StarDict's earlier homepage on SourceForge, the project has been removed from SourceForge due to copyright infringement reports.[4][failed verification] It moved to Google Code[5] and then back to SourceForge,[6] while development is now seemingly continued on GitHub.[7]
StarDict runs under Linux, Windows, FreeBSD, Maemo and Solaris. Dictionaries of the user's choice are installed separately. Dictionary files can be created by converting dict files.[8]
Several programs compatible with the StarDict dictionary format are available for different platforms. For the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad, applications available in the App Store include GuruDic, TouchDict, weDict, Dictionary Universal, Alpus and others, as well as the free iStarDict, which is available for the Cydia Store.
One can find here the partial list of FreeDict dictionaries which can be converted to the StarDict format. These include, in particular, some older versions of Webster's dictionary and many dictionaries for various languages.
While StarDict is in scan mode, results are displayed in a tooltip, allowing easy dictionary lookup. When combined with Freedict, StarDict will quickly provide rough translations of foreign language websites.
On September 25, 2006, an online version of Stardict began operation. This online version includes access to all the major dictionaries of StarDict, as well as Wikipedia in Chinese.
Previous versions of StarDict were very similar to the PowerWord dictionary program, which is developed by a Chinese company, KingSoft. Since version 2.4.2, however, StarDict has diverged from the design of PowerWord by increasing its search capabilities and adding lexicons in a variety of languages. This was assisted by the collaboration of many developers with the author.[9][10]

Evgeniy A. Dushistov produced a command line version of StarDict called sdcv. It employed all the dictionary files that belong to StarDict. It is written in C++ and licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License.
sdcv runs under Linux,[12][13] FreeBSD,[14] and Solaris. As in StarDict, dictionaries of the user's choice have to be installed separately.
At the end of 2006, software developer Hu Zheng cited personal financial problems[15] as an excuse to charge users for downloading dictionary files from his website, which temporarily aroused strong doubts[16] and dissatisfaction in the Linux community.[17] In the end, under the pressure of public opinion, the charging plan was forced to be canceled and ended hastily.[18]

SourceForge is a web service that provides a centralized software discovery platform, including an online platform for managing and hosting open-source software projects, and a directory for comparing and reviewing B2B software that lists over 104,500 business software titles. It provides source code repository hosting, bug tracking, mirroring of downloads for load balancing, a wiki for documentation, developer and user mailing lists, user-support forums, user-written reviews and ratings, a news bulletin, micro-blog for publishing project updates, and other features. Sourceforge was founded by Tony Guntharp, Uriah Welcome, Tim Perdue, and Drew Streib in November 1999. It was one of the first to offer this service free of charge to open-source projects. Since 2012, the website has run on Apache Allura software. SourceForge offers free hosting and free access to tools for developers of free and open-source software. As of September 2020, the SourceForge repository claimed to host more than 502,000 projects and had more than 3.7 million registered users.

Notepad++ (sometimes npp or NPP) is a text and source-code editor for use with Microsoft Windows. It supports tabbed editing, which allows working with multiple open files in one window. The program's name comes from the C postfix increment operator. Notepad++ is released as free and open-source software under a GNU General Public License (GPL) 3.0 or later. The project was originally hosted on the SourceForge software repository (2003–2010), from where it was downloaded over 28 million times, and twice won the SourceForge Community Choice Award for Best Developer Tool. The project moved to TuxFamily (2010–2015), and then to GitHub (2015–present). Notepad++ uses the Scintilla editor component. It supports Windows DirectWrite and all major Windows color font formats (COLRv0, COLRv1, and OpenType SVG).
Irrlicht (German pronunciation [ˈɪʁlɪçt], English: will-o'-the-wisp) is an open-source game engine written in C++. It is cross-platform, officially running on Windows, macOS, Linux and Windows CE and due to its open nature ports to other systems are available, including FreeBSD, Xbox (up to Irrlicht version 1.8.1), PlayStation Portable, Symbian, iPhone, AmigaOS 4, Sailfish OS via a Qt/QML wrapper, and Google Native Client. Irrlicht is known for its optimization and reliability in both newer and older hardware. It also offers easy learning, and a large friendly community. Unofficial bindings for many languages exist including AutoIt, C++Builder, FreeBASIC, GameMaker Language, Java, Lua, .NET, Object Pascal (Delphi), Perl, Python, and Ruby. However, most of them have not been maintained for more than five years. Irrlicht's development began in 2003 with one developer, Nikolaus Gebhardt. Only after the 1.0 release of Irrlicht in 2006 did the team grow to ten members as of 2011, most of them being developers. Irrlicht is a common German term for a will-o'-the-wisp.
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
