Happy TOSS Birthday to Loulie Jean Norman, who sang the wordless accompaniment on the Star Trek theme by Alexander Courage. She also contributed vocal sounds for The Cage which was used on many eps. And I still don't know if she sang the spooky vocals for Losira. #TOSSatNight

Episode with Peter Capaldi, teenage heartthrob. The Doctor and Clara Oswald are on a posh turn-of-the-century train car, wearing a fine black tie suit and gold cocktail dress. The Doctor says to her, “It's a smile but you're sad. It's confusing. It's like two emotions at once. It's like you're malfunctioning.” Clara looks down, and says “Sorry.”

‘Hey’ came before ‘hi,’ and ‘hi' came before ‘hello.’

‘Hi’ is most likely a variant of ‘hey.’

‘Hello’ is not related to either.

Goodbye.

"A Raisin in the Sun" premiered in the Barrymore Theatre on Broadway #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

For Harriet Tubman Day, we'd like to share this story from 2017, when a remarkable photo album containing a previously unknown photograph of Harriet Tubman was jointly acquired by the Library and the Smithsonian, and conserved for future generations. ⬇️

A little disjointed tonight due to the hashtag issues, but "Ship in a Bottle" is a fun episode that returns a sense of normalcy after "Chain of Command."
