Maura's story sparked this investigation into the Smithsonian's racial brain collection. She was an Indigenous Filipino woman who came to St. Louis to be put on display at the World's Fair. When she died, an anthropologist likely took her cerebellum. wapo.st/3YDekkN

In 2023, crime surged in D.C. as homicides reached levels not seen in a generation. By year’s end, police had made more than 500 arrests of people under age 18 for violent crimes. @wpinvestigates, @postlocal and more teams set out to find what happened. Here's what we learned:
