In the late 1800s, many Americans toiled 12 hours a day, seven days a week, often in physically demanding, low-paying jobs. Children worked too. Conditions were harsh and unsafe. It was in this context that American workers held the first Labor Day parade. nyti.ms/3KLEnzp

"A Raisin in the Sun" premiered in the Barrymore Theatre #OTD in 1959. This original poster is in the Library's collection. It was the first Broadway play written by a Black woman, Lorraine Hansberry, who was only 28 at the time. #WomensHistoryMonth

Ramadan Mubarak. Ramadan is the holiest month in Islam and the only month mentioned by name in the Quran. The Library's Koranic collection can be traced back to Thomas Jefferson's own copy of the holy book. 🧵
