Today is NPR's first day ever without the support of public funding. Thanks to everyone who has donated to your local stations. It means the world.
Today, the NPR shop also re-launched with a bunch of swag to help support us, too. I've always been partial to the 70s logo, myself.

On Feb. 14th I try always to give honor to one of the greatest contributors to American democracy in our nation’s history, Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery, Douglass never knew his actual birthdate, and adopted Feb. 14th as the day. His penetrating insights about our country inspire me daily.
