After last year's eye-opening Annual National Snapshot, which drew widespread attention to the challenges museums faced, it's time to find out where the field stands now.

This critical survey has fueled advocacy amid funding threats and helped secure billions of relief dollars during the pandemic.

The latest edition of the survey hit museum directors' inboxes earlier this month.

If you received the survey, we urge you to take 15-30 minutes to complete it and help us effectively advocate, develop benchmarking resources, and raise public awareness of museums' impact and challenges in the year ahead.

This year's survey will collect data on topics like:

Strategies for fundraising and increasing attendance

Changes in museum staffing and finances

K-12 educational programming

Insurance coverage and investment practice

Haiti and Brazil: A Football Connection Across Generations 🇭🇹🤝🇧🇷⚽

For decades, Brazil has held a special place in the hearts of many Haitians. Generations of football fans in Haiti grew up admiring Brazil's style of play, legendary players, and rich World Cup history. From neighborhood matches to community gatherings, Brazil's matches often became shared moments of excitement and celebration.

Part of that connection developed during periods when Haiti faced political and economic challenges that affected the growth of sports and athletic infrastructure. While Haitians continued to support their national team, many also looked to Brazil as a source of inspiration, embracing its football culture and international success.

Brazil's influence extended across generations through iconic players such as Pelé, whose achievements transformed the global game. In 1971, Pelé visited Haiti with Santos FC for a historic exhibition match in Port-au-Prince, an event that drew thousands of supporters and remains one of the most memorable moments in Haitian football history. Later stars such as Ronaldo Nazário helped define a new era of Brazilian football and inspired fans around the world, including many in Haiti.

The connection between Haiti and Brazilian football was further strengthened in 2004 when Brazil's national team traveled to Port-au-Prince for the internationally recognized Peace Match, bringing thousands together through a shared love of football. At the same time, Haiti has its own remarkable football legacy. In 1974, Haiti became the first independent Caribbean nation to qualify for the FIFA World Cup, inspiring generations throughout the Caribbean and beyond.

Today, as Haiti returns to football's biggest stage and prepares to face Brazil, the moment represents more than a match. It is a meeting of two nations connected by a shared passion for the beautiful game and a reminder of how sport can bring people and communities together across borders.

Happy Juneteenth!

Juneteenth, observed annually on June 19, commemorates the end of slavery in the United States and honors the resilience, achievements, and contributions of African Americans throughout history.

The holiday marks June 19, 1865, when Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced General Order No. 3, informing enslaved African Americans that they were free. Although President Abraham Lincoln had issued the Emancipation Proclamation more than two years earlier on January 1, 1863, freedom was not immediately enforced in all Confederate states. For many enslaved people in Texas, Juneteenth represented the first official notification and enforcement of emancipation.

Following emancipation, African American communities began commemorating June 19 through gatherings, educational events, religious services, music, food, and cultural celebrations. Over time, Juneteenth grew into a national observance recognizing both the struggle for freedom and the continuing pursuit of equality, justice, and civil rights.

In 2021, Juneteenth National Independence Day became a federal holiday in the United States, further recognizing its historical and cultural significance. Today, Juneteenth serves as an opportunity to reflect on the enduring legacy of emancipation, honor the contributions of African Americans, and celebrate the strength, perseverance, and achievements of Black communities across generations.

As we observe Juneteenth, we remember the importance of freedom, education, community, and the ongoing work of preserving and sharing history.

Happy Caribbean Heritage Month! 🌴

Each June, Caribbean Heritage Month celebrates the rich history, cultures, traditions, and contributions of Caribbean people and communities throughout the United States and around the world.

National Caribbean American Heritage Month was officially recognized in the United States in 2006 following years of advocacy by the Institute of Caribbean Studies and its founder, Claire Nelson. That same year, President George W. Bush issued the first presidential proclamation recognizing June as Caribbean American Heritage Month. Since then, the month has been observed annually to honor the achievements and lasting impact of Caribbean people and their descendants.

The Caribbean is a region of remarkable diversity, encompassing numerous nations, territories, languages, cultures, and traditions. From art, music, literature, cuisine, and sports to science, education, public service, and entrepreneurship, Caribbean communities have made significant contributions that continue to shape societies across the globe.

For many Caribbean peoples throughout the diaspora, this month is also an opportunity to celebrate heritage, honor ancestors, share cultural traditions, and recognize the generations who helped build vibrant communities while preserving their unique identities.

Throughout Caribbean Heritage Month, we celebrate the resilience, creativity, achievements, and cultural richness of Caribbean people everywhere.

Happy Haitian Mother’s Day! Bòn Fèt Manman Ayisyen! 💐

Celebrated on the last Sunday of May, Haitian Mother’s Day honors mothers, grandmothers, and maternal figures whose love, sacrifice, strength, and guidance continue to shape Haitian families, communities, and future generations both in Haiti and throughout the diaspora.

In Haitian culture, mothers are often recognized as central pillars of family life and community support. Haitian Mother’s Day is celebrated with family gatherings, church services, flowers, music, meals, and heartfelt expressions of gratitude honoring the important role mothers play within Haitian society and culture.

Haiti celebrates Mother’s Day on the last Sunday of May, following a tradition also observed in several other French-speaking and Caribbean countries. The date differs from the United States observance earlier in the month and has become an important cultural celebration of mothers throughout Haiti and Haitian communities around the world.

Today we honor the resilience, care, wisdom, and enduring contributions of Haitian mothers everywhere. Tag a mother or mother figure who has inspired and uplifted you.
