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.

Eclipse was a super sweet, world-famous, bus riding dog and true Seattle icon.
You brought joy and happiness to everyone and showed us all that good dogs belong on the bus.

Did you know that a Canadian helped create the modern day US Special Forces?
He was Indigenous, a war hero, and a survivor of Canada’s residential school system.
This is the story of the most badass war hero you’ve never heard of.
A Goodable Thread. 🧵
