Celebrating Independence Day

Celebrating Independence Day Friends, I hope that you are doing well. As we enter into July, it is hard to believe the many changes and challenges we've had to face in our world in just the past few months. The upcoming July 4th holiday is another reminder of the ways we've all had to adjust and rework communal celebrations and gatherings in the age of COVID-19. Many of you have celebrated birthdays and graduations virtually, and have come up with creative ways to stay in touch with family and friends from a distance. The Library of Congress is no different, and we continue to adapt to stay connected with you even as our doors remain closed. This is especially important as we strive to offer a safe place to have difficult conversations about the challenges facing our nation today with regard to race, inequality and social justice. To that end, below you will find information on some of our upcoming virtual events including today's conversation with new Kluge Prize winner, Danielle Allen, who will take on the hard questions about democracy and public life. Our online series, "Hear You, Hear Me": Conversations on Race in America, also continues this month. You can also learn more about the major collections work we are undertaking to document the pandemic in an informative new blog post, "How Will We Remember COVID-19?" And, as we prepare to celebrate Independence Day, it must be noted that the Library of Congress is home to the original rough draft of the Declaration of Independence. It is one of the institution's top treasures. View it online here, https://www.loc.gov/exhibits/treasures/tr00.html, and discover other resources related to our nation's independence below. Have a safe holiday weekend.

Photo: Camilo Vergara. Prints and Photographs Division. How Will We Remember COVID-19? The Library is amassing a vast collection of materials that document the COVID-19 pandemic, including the award-winning photography of Camilo Vergara. These photographs are among the very first items the Library acquired documenting the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. And they will be far from the last: The Library anticipates a collecting effort that exceeds its coverage of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks — which was huge.

COVID-19: Department of Health Services Urges Residents to Stay Home Ahead of July 4th Weekend

Nearly 20 % of Total COVID-19 Cases in Wisconsin in Last Two Weeks

News Release For Immediate Release July 2, 2020 Contact: Elizabeth Goodsitt/Jennifer Miller 608-266-1683 Department of Health Services Urges Residents to Stay Home Ahead of July 4th Weekend  Nearly 20 % of Total COVID-19 Cases in Wisconsin in Last Two Weeks The Department of Health Services urges Wisconsin residents to stay home and follow best public health practices during the upcoming Fourth of July weekend. Wisconsin has seen a recent surge in cases with half of all positive cases coming within the past five weeks. Nearly 20 % of total COVID-19 cases in Wisconsin have tested positive within the past two weeks. This spike in cases is driven in part by an increase in infections among younger people, and contact tracing by some local health departments has revealed that many of these cases can be traced to bars. "This message is especially important for younger people to hear," said Governor Tony Evers. "We know this is a time people like to celebrate with friends, but COVID-19 is still spreading in our state, and we need everyone to take the necessary precautions." View the entire news release.
