Happy Birthday Wynton Marsalis! Wynton Marsalis was born October 18, 1961. #Marsalis is an American #virtuoso #trumpeter, #composer, teacher, and is currently the artistic director of #Jazz at Lincoln Center. He has promoted #classical and jazz music, often to young audiences. He has received numerous honors and awards for his skill and style, including nine #Grammy Awards; the first jazz composition to win the #Pulitzer Prize for Music; the only musician to win a Grammy Awar...d in jazz and classical during the same year (which he did twice in 1983 and 1984); and at 17, was the youngest musician ever to be admitted to Tanglewood’s Berkshire Music Center. For his contributions to the arts, and his impact on music, he was awarded the National Medal of the Arts by President George W. Bush in 2005, and the National Humanities Medal in 2015. "I strongly believe that, for you, jazz is more than just a musical form. It is tradition, it is part of American history and culture and life. To you, jazz is the sound of #democracy. And from this democratic nature of jazz derives openness, generosity, and universality. - Pierre Vimont, Ambassador of France to the United States, awarding the French Legion of Honor to Mr. Marsalis #HappyBirthday #WyntonMarsalis

Happy Election Day! With record voter turn out expected, many of you have exercised your right and privilege to experience democracy in action. And while to some this election cycle may have felt like 100 years, we are traveling back over 200 years to the fall of 1789 when President George Washington visited Portsmouth, NH. This occurred during his presidential tour of New England, which Washington himself designed to unify a newly-formed, but fractured country. According to... historian T.H. Breen, the group of states most worried about being part of the United States was, in fact, the New England states, which may be why Washington visited here first. Washington wrote this letter to the inhabitants of Portsmouth at the conclusion of his visit, dated Nov. 2, 1789. He thanked the citizens for their congratulations of his presidency, promised "unremitting attention to his duties," offered condolences on their losses as a result of the war, and expressed hope they will prosper in the future. [Gift of Indian Head Bank & Trust, S0809] In an online search, you can find several articles detailing Washington's visit to NH as well as more on Washington's private secretary Tobias Lear (1762-1816) who was from Portsmouth. Note: To improve readability, we've separated page one into sections and digitally enhanced the letter. We also have included a transcript. #electionday #vote #democracy #unity #georgewashington #archives #collectpreserveshare #localhistory #PortsmouthNH #nh #maine #seacoast

What does "cured" mean in reference to ballots? Some states offer a chance to fix mail-in and absentee ballots if there is a discrepancy such as signature matching. It allows the voter the opportunity to ensure their vote is counted rather than discarded. 18 states require officials to notify voters of signature discrepancies or missing signatures and offer an opportunity for the voter to correct that.
