Something to ponder as you head out to vote today, for free. In the Library's Rosa Parks Papers collection, there's a receipt for the poll tax she had to pay to vote in Alabama in 1956. Poll taxes, a Jim Crow-era voter suppression tool, were not abolished federally until 1964.

Fostering children's curiosity is vital, as it encourages a love for learning and critical thinking. When we actively welcome their questions, we validate their quest for understanding and make them feel valued. #fredrogers #curiosity #support

The Library has the largest body of early Indigenous American music recordings in the U.S.: 10,000 wax cylinders of songs & stories. Those recorded by Francis La Flesche — the first professional Native American ethnologist & a member of the Omaha Nation — are among them. 🧵

It's National Cat Day, and we're giving the people what they want: Brünnhilde! She appears in a Library exhibition that will be on display for just a bit longer: Not an Ostrich: & Other Images from America’s Library, which spans the history of photography. https://t.co/q8X8Lf5cuS

Are you ready to "fall back" this weekend? The U.S. adopted Daylight Saving Time for the first time in 1918, with a goal of saving energy during World War I. It was repealed in 1919, came back during World War II, and was finally standardized by the Uniform Time Act in 1966.

Berryman, famous for his work in Washington newspapers during the first half of the 20th century, is one of many artists featured in the Library's cartoon collection. Check it out here: https://t.co/2H5GHiANfX
Happy Halloween! 🎃

[Library of Congress @librarycongress]

Halloween-themed editorial cartoons have long been common in America, partly due to the holiday's proximity to Election Day. But this charming, seemingly apolitical example from 1909 or 1910 by Clifford K. Berryman seems to simply note upon the aviation boom of that time. 🧵
