For the month of May, Donaldson sponsored 5 free admission Thursday nights at the Minnesota History Center. Across the 5 sponsored evenings, the center welcomed 1,612 visitors – an average of 322 per night! Prior to the sponsorship, Thursday nights typically brought in between 35-40 guests. Donaldson is dedicated to enriching our communities and we're thrilled to have sponsored so many new faces – of all ages – to the center. In addition to the permanent exhibit experiences, this sponsorship greatly expanded access to two traveling exhibits, "The Life and Art of Charles M. Schulz" and "Black Citizenship in the Age of Jim Crow," in their final month on view. #community #MinnesotaHistoryCenter #MinnesotaHistory #Donaldson #sponsorship #worklifebalance

As we celebrate July 4th, Independence Day, we reflect on the unique history and enduring contributions of Black Americans. This day symbolizes both freedom and the ongoing struggle for equality, especially for our underserved business communities. Despite progress, we face significant challenges, including recent attacks on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, which threaten our collective advancements. At USBC, we remain dedicated to advocating for economic empowerment and justice. However, the fight for true freedom and democracy requires our active participation. I urge each of you to ensure you are registered to vote and to exercise this fundamental right. Our voices are powerful tools for authorizing freedoms and shaping a more equitable society that moves the Black economic agenda forward. In observance of this Federal holiday, USBC offices will be closed on July 4th and will reopen on Friday, July 5th. Let’s honor our history and commit to forging a brighter future together. https://lnkd.in/eAzyD-w

Today is Juneteenth. It marks the day in 1865 enslaved people in Galveston, Texas found out they had been freed — after the end of the Civil War, and two years after President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation. Making Juneteenth a holiday does not absolve the country of its past, nor does it make up for any of the injustices. If you're not Black, you can spend today observing Juneteenth by: *Educating yourself. - Learn the history of the day and the significance of the holiday. *Support Black-Owned Businesses. - Whether in your community or online. *Donate to Organizations that Support Black Communities. *Attend Juneteenth Events. *Volunteer with an organization that supports Black communities.
