Good morning and happy #PresidentsDay!

We’re named after a free African-American almanac author, astronomer, inventor, presidential advisor, and surveyor. In 1791, #BenjaminBanneker was assigned to the Pierre L'Enfant team to survey Washington, D.C. #BlackHistoryMonth

In February 1926, Carter G. Woodson launched Negro History Week (Black History Month) as an initiative to bring national attention to the contributions of black people throughout American history. #BHM  #CarterGWoodson #ASALH https://t.co/6Z3r43pdc6

Thank you @AntonJGunn for your engaging and informative presentation during our annual #BlackHistoryMonth program! Also, thank you @GSACarnahan for affirming @USGSA’s commitment of working for and reflecting all Americans. And yes, “black history is American history,” indeed.#tbt

We're hosting our annual #BlackHistoryMonth Program on Wednesday. Each year, @ASALH establishes the national Black History Month theme. This year’s theme is Black Health and Wellness. We're looking forward to the insight provided by our keynote speaker @AntonJGunn.

In 2020, millions made their voices heard at the polls. But now, folks who oppose that progress are making it harder to vote. That’s why I’m asking you to join @WhenWeAllVote and 30 other organizations to turn out more voters and urge Congress to pass voting rights legislation.

Through his groundbreaking roles and singular talent, Sidney Poitier epitomized dignity and grace, revealing the power of movies to bring us closer together. He also opened doors for a generation of actors. Michelle and I send our love to his family and legion of fans.

Every interaction Americans have with government is an opportunity to build trust and improve people’s lives. 2022 will be a big year @USGSA for delivering excellent customer experience to the public and value to taxpayers. https://t.co/NQpqeWXnuG

One year ago, a violent attack on our Capitol made it clear just how fragile the American experiment in democracy really is. Here’s my statement on what the anniversary means, and what we need to do today.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Last year, for the first time in our history, a president who just lost an election tried to prevent the peaceful transfer of power as a violent mob breached the Capitol.

But they failed.

And on this day of remembrance we must make sure that such an attack never happens again.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

If you're feeling discouraged about our democracy, read this article about how citizens in Michigan took politics out of the redistricting process. It’s why the work @EricHolder and the @DemRedistrict are doing to fight gerrymandering is so important. https://t.co/0Wqd633bC0

When Harry Reid was nearing the end, his wife Landra asked some of us to share letters that she could read to him. In lieu of a statement, here’s what I wrote to my friend:

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Archbishop Desmond Tutu was a mentor, a friend, and a moral compass for me and so many others. A universal spirit, Archbishop Tutu was grounded in the struggle for liberation and justice in his own country, but also concerned with injustice everywhere.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Merry Christmas, everybody! This year, I got a little help spreading holiday cheer from Sunny. Wishing you all a peaceful and joyful holiday season with the ones you love.
