Today is International Literacy Day — a U.N.-recognized event since 1967. According to UNESCO, the day is meant “to remind the public of the importance of literacy as a matter of dignity and human rights, and to advance the literacy agenda towards a more literate and sustainable society.” There are various organizations working to further this cause, including one from the Queen of Country herself, Dolly Parton. The singer’s Imagination Library has gifted more than 188 million books to over 2 million children worldwide since launching in 1995. Click the link below to learn more!

Juneteenth honors the end of slavery in the United States. Short for "June Nineteenth," Juneteenth marks the day when federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas in 1865 to take control of the state and ensure that all enslaved people be freed. In June 2021, Congress passed a resolution establishing Juneteenth as a federal holiday.
