Library director John Howard said the only thing more amazing than the turnout was hearing Gingold's story.
'You know, history is so important,' Howard said. 'If we don't remember our history, we're going to repeat it. And it's great that people come out — and really, a lot of people came out — to hear about it.'

Hundreds of federal workers at Voice of America receive layoff notices

In March, President Donald Trump accused the news group of spreading 'anti-American' and partisan 'propaganda,' calling it 'the voice of radical America.' He then signed an executive order that effectively called for dismantling the news agency and put nearly all Voice of America reporters on paid leave, ceasing its news operations for the first time since its founding in 1942. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Kari Lake, a fierce Trump ally and a senior adviser at the news organization's oversight agency, U.S. Agency for Global Media, notified Congress earlier this month that her agency intended to eliminate most positions at Voice of America. Her letter identified fewer than 20 employees who must remain at the media organization, according to laws passed by Congress to establish and fund it. Friday's termination notices leave around 200 employees. Advertisement Lake's decision 'spells the death of 83 years of independent journalism that upholds U.S. ideals of democracy and freedom around the world,' Patsy Widakuswara, a former Voice of America White House bureau chief who was placed on leave and is leading a lawsuit against Lake and the U.S. Agency for Global Media, said in a statement. Advertisement She encouraged Congress to intervene and to signal support for Voice of America, which was founded to combat Nazi propaganda and reported in countries that suppress independent reporting and free speech. 'Moscow, Beijing, Tehran and extremist groups are flooding the global information space with anti-America propaganda,' Widakuswara said. 'Do not cede this ground by silencing America's voice.' Lake, who is leading the effort to gut Voice of America, called the news group 'a bloated, unaccountable bureaucracy' and attributed her termination of 639 employees at her agency to her goal of eliminating 'dysfunction, bias and waste.' She added, 'I'm proud to carry out President Trump's executive order and deliver results that put America first.' This article originally appeared in .

Majority of staff axed at Voice of America

The Trump administration on Friday sent out termination notices to hundreds of employees at Voice of America. Included in that group are employees working for the network's Persian-language service who were called back from administrative leave just last week in the wake of Israel's attack on Iran, according to two people familiar with the decision. The move — which makes official what has long been expected since hundreds of contract employees got termination notices in early May — is a part of the Trump administration's sweeping target to downsize the government and remake America's role in the global order. Critics of the administration's focus on VOA have said that the network has played a vital role in combatting disinformation abroad. But the administration says these cuts are in service of 'cutting waste' and putting 'American taxpayers first.' 'Today, we took decisive action to effectuate President Trump's agenda to shrink the out-of-control federal bureaucracy,' senior presidential adviser Kari Lake said in a statement released Friday . The move eliminates 1,400 jobs at U.S. Agency for Global Media, VOA's parent agency, roughly an 85 percent cut to the workforce. The last day on payroll for the employees will be Labor Day. Some of those affected by Friday's cuts who are not old enough for mandatory retirement, are being terminated without severance pay, according to one of the people. The move would contradict USAGM's policy on severance. 'As our legal team fight[s] for our rights under the law, we call on Congress to continue its long tradition of bipartisan support for VOA,' the named plaintiffs in VOA's lawsuit against the Trump administration said in a statement. 'Moscow, Beijing, Tehran and extremist groups are flooding the global information space with anti-American propaganda. Do not cede this ground by silencing America's voice.' Lake said in her statement that 250 employees will remain across the USAGM, VOA and the Office of Cuba Broadcasting. She noted that none of the OCB's 33 employees were terminated. The government-funded network, which was founded 80 years ago to combat Nazi disinformation during World War II, has — largely unsuccessfully — fought the administration's decision in court. The administration sent RIF notices to employees in small batches for weeks. But Friday's notice could deliver the coup de grâce for Voice of America after decades of providing the world with accurate information in countries where media is state-run.

Biden to attend Juneteenth celebration in Galveston

Former President Biden will attend a Juneteenth celebration at a historic church in Galveston, Texas, on Thursday, The Associated Press reported. Biden will attend the event hosted by the Reedy Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church — one of the places the order announcing the end of slavery in Texas was read on June 19, 1865. That historic day is now commemorated each year on June 19. Biden signed legislation into law making Juneteenth a federal holiday in 2021. The church, which describes itself as 'the birthplace of Juneteenth,' hosts an annual celebration including a 'family fun day,' a historic reenactment of the 'emancipation march,' and an 'emancipation service,' according to the website. Biden marked Juneteenth last year about a week early, hosting a celebration concert at the White House that included singers Gladys Knight and Patti LaBelle. 'The day reminds us that we have a hell of a lot more work to do,' Biden told the nearly 1,700 attendees. 'Let's keep marching. Let's keep the faith.' President Trump does not have any public events listed for Thursday. A White House official told The Hill that the president plans to sign a proclamation declaring June 19, 2025, as 'Juneteenth Day of Observance.' The Hill has reached out to Biden's office about his plans. Updated at 5:35 p.m. EDT Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
