SUMMARY:American Red Cross Blood Drive at Atlanta History Center
DESCRIPTION:The Red Cross provides about 40% of our nation’s blood and blood components\, all from generous volunteer donors. But supply can’t always meet demand because only about 3% of age-eligible people donate blood yearly. \n\n\n\nCommunity blood drives are critical to maintaining a healthy blood supply in the U.S.—especially while many offices and schools remain closed due to the pandemic. Every two seconds\, someone in the U.S. needs blood\, from accident victims to children battling cancer to mothers giving birth. Healthy volunteer donors are the key to helping save lives. Join the Atlanta History Center for a blood drive to give back. \n\n\n\n10-3pm ET on Thursday June 17.

SUMMARY:American Red Cross Blood Drive at Atlanta History Center
DESCRIPTION:The Red Cross provides about 40% of our nation’s blood and blood components\, all from generous volunteer donors. But supply can’t always meet demand because only about 3% of age-eligible people donate blood yearly. \n\n\n\nCommunity blood drives are critical to maintaining a healthy blood supply in the U.S.—especially while many offices and schools remain closed due to the pandemic. Every two seconds\, someone in the U.S. needs blood\, from accident victims to children battling cancer to mothers giving birth. Healthy volunteer donors are the key to helping save lives. Join the Atlanta History Center for a blood drive to give back. \n\n\n\n10-3pm ET on Thursday June 17.

SUMMARY:Watch the National Youth Summit on Japanese American Incarceration
DESCRIPTION:During World War II\, the United States government forcibly removed over 120\,000 Japanese Americans from the Pacific Coast. These individuals\, two-thirds of them U.S. citizens\, were sent to ten camps built throughout the western interior of the United States. Many would spend the next three years living under armed guard\, behind barbed wire. In this webcast\, the panelists explored this period in American history and considered how fear and prejudice can upset the delicate balance between the rights of citizens and the power of the state.
