More than 20 million Americans participated in the first #EarthDay on April 22, 1970. Artist Robert Rauschenberg originally designed his iconic poster to support the American Environment Foundation in honor of the event.

ALT Artist Robert Rauschenberg originally designed his iconic poster to support the American Environment Foundation in honor of the first Earth Day. It features an image of a bald eagle surrounded by a photo montage showing endangered animals, deforestation, and land, water, and air pollution. According to the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, the artist’s use of the American eagle “symbolically placed the United States at the center of a global problem.” The United States Information Agency made this reproduction of Rauschenberg's original work in 1993.

Proud to point out that the word #Authentic has been the Word of the Year at @HistoryFactory every year for 45 years. (But who's counting?) Welcome to those of you who figured out in 2023 that keeping it real pays! merriam-webster.com/wordplay…

One of Mrs. Carter’s lasting legacies comes from her work—before, during, and after her time as First Lady—as an advocate for mental health. In 1978, she presented President Carter with the commission’s recommendations for sweeping mental health policy and program reforms.

Happy #Halloween!
The edition of the Pennsylvania Journal and Weekly Advertiser published #onthisday in 1765 featured an aptly spooky symbol: skull and crossbones. ☠️ The symbol was a satirical representation of the official stamp required by the Stamp Act of 1765.

What better way to celebrate Halloween than by honoring the king of things that go bump in the night, Edgar Allan Poe. 🐦⬛🪦
Listen to narrations of several of Poe's stories in the archive including this 1966 rendition of "The Cask of Amontillado." 🍷
