Thanks to the help of friends like you, we
broke ground in February 2012, and construction is well underway.
In fact, just this past weekend, we installed two signature objects, a
Southern Pacific railway car and a 1930s-era
guard tower from the
Louisiana State Penitentiary, as part of the museum’s inaugural exhibition on segregation.
We are on track to open our doors in late 2015 thanks to your commitment to supporting and sharing
African American history and culture with generations to come. From all of us here, we wish you a very
happy Thanksgiving.
Sincerely,
Edison R. Wato, Jr. Membership Program Manager
| Hi Friend,In this season of giving, I wanted to say thank you for being a part of the National Geographic community. Because of you, we’re able to push the boundaries of what’s possible in this new age of exploration.
As a Big Cats Initiative Grantee, I’m working to mitigate conflicts between humans and big cat populations in Tanzania. Click here to watch a special video message, so you can see some of the great things you’ve helped me and others accomplish.
Without you, we wouldn’t be able to climb higher, dive deeper, look closer, or inspire people to care about the planet, so thank you.

Last week Chairman Brock asked NAACP supporters to share with us what they are thankful for this year.
So what do you get when you put all those responses together? A wonderful expression of all the incredible work we are a part of and the amazing families and friends we are blessed to have in our lives.
Share this graphic of what we are thankful for—created by the words of NAACP supporters, for NAACP supporters—with everyone you know today:
 Thank you. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving, filled with safe travels and full stomachs.

Urge Congress to support tax benefits that will unleash the power of private investment to make renewable energy even more competitive and create clean energy jobs.
It is time for Congress to unlock billions of dollars of low-cost financing for clean energy by allowing renewables to be eligible for an important tax benefit that the oil, natural gas, and coal industries have had for decades.

A few months back, we wrote to ask for your support in leveling the playing field for clean energy. More than 27,000 UCS supporters like you responded by sending messages to Congress. Policy makers heard you and took action, adding their names as co-sponsors to bipartisan legislation that will give renewable energy access to the low-cost financing available to the fossil fuel industries. Now, the lead co-sponsor of the bill is asking for your help once again.
Urge Congress today to support a level playing field for clean energy.
Renewable energy has long been denied access to certain tax benefits and low-cost financing made available to the fossil fuel industry for decades. Bipartisan legislation now before the U.S. House and Senate will finally give renewable energy projects access—unlocking billions of dollars of low-cost financing for clean energy.
Let’s make sure Congress does not fail to seize this opportunity to ensure renewables compete on more even ground with fossil fuels. This should be a clean energy bill Congress can agree on.
Take Action Today!
