On this day in 1885, the Statue of Liberty arrived in the U.S. on a boat, in pieces. The Library’s Historic American Engineering Record collection has some amazing photos of Lady Liberty from odd angles, taken in 1984 and 1985 during a major restoration project ahead of her centennial celebration.

🌍 Un an après le Sommet Nutrition pour la Croissance, la France tient ses engagements. 🧬🔬
Aux côtés d’Ann Avril de l’UNICEF, le Sommet One Health est l’occasion de faire le point et de constater que la dynamique est là. 🏛️
➡️ En moins d’un an, la France a déjà atteint plus de 50% de son objectif avec des actions concrètes sur le terrain pour lutter contre la malnutrition. Mais l’urgence reste.
La mobilisation de Paris a lancé un mouvement durable, c’est à nous de continuer sur cette lignée.

Visit to @SmithsonianEnv, a key research center in the heart of the Chesapeake Bay, working to better understand the interplay between climate change and coastal wetlands. We discussed opportunities to develop scientific cooperation with this leading institution.

140 years ago, the Statue of Liberty arrived in NYC as a symbol of freedom.
In 2021, we welcomed her little sister to D.C. as a sign of our friendship.
When Russia invaded Ukraine, we draped her in the Ukrainian flag in solidarity.
Today, we still #StandWithUkraine.

🇺🇸 Il y a 81 ans, à l’aube du 6 juin 1944, plus de 150 000 soldats alliés débarquaient sur les plages de Normandie pour libérer l’Europe du joug nazi. Parmi eux, plus de 73 000 Américains — jeunes hommes venus d’Ohio, du Texas, de New York ou de Californie — ont traversé l’Atlantique pour défendre la liberté sur un continent qui n’était pas le leur, mais dont ils partageaient les idéaux.
Leur courage, leur sacrifice, et leur détermination ont changé le cours de l’histoire.

🌊 Climate, economy, biodiversity: the Ocean is at the heart of our lives.
In June, France is hosting the United Nations Ocean Conference in Nice, the largest ocean summit ever organized.
It's time for action.
