From the Buganda Kingdom to the halls of @Smithsonian and @TRPresLibrary, we are connected by a single thread of shared history: 🇺🇸President Theodore Roosevelt's 1909 expedition to Uganda and its enduring significance. As we celebrate 250 years of American independence, we thank @UgandaMFA, @UgaEmbaWashDC, @ugwildlife, @TourismBoardUg for your commitment to Roosevelt's belief that the measure of a nation is found in its willingness to show up, to be present, to engage, and to build. 🇺🇸🤝🇺🇬

#DYK: When American Raymond S. Tomlinson invented email in 1971 to send messages between different computers, what iconic standard did he establish to separate the username from the machine name? #Freedom250. Is it: a) www. prefix, b) ".com" ending, or c) "@" sign?

[U.S. Embassy Kampala, Uganda @USEmbassyUganda]

The correct answer is: (c) Bridging Teacher gaps. The first Peace Corps Volunteers in Uganda were a group of 35 secondary education teachers who arrived in the country on November 16, 1964. Later projects included health, fisheries, agriculture, vocational education, and surveying. Learn more about Peace Corps’ work in Uganda here: https://t.co/kNNixK7W51
