<li>Be sure to reach out to your instructors. Talk with (and listen to) your instructors. They have had a variety of experiences, and you can learn a lot from them. </li>
<li>Don’t be afraid to talk with your classmates too. Strike up a conversation with your fellow classmates, and you may learn that you all live in the same town or neighborhood and can carpool. Perhaps you and your classmates can set up a study group, or just encourage one another as you prepare for a practical exam or a tough quiz. </li>

Fashion (whether high or noteworthy) is as synonymous with the Kentucky Derby as mint juleps, My Old Kentucky Home, and the horse race itself. Meriweather Lewis Clark Jr., founder of the Kentucky Derby, established the Kentucky Derby dress code of "full morning dress" from the beginning. Men wore full suits with hats, and women wore suits or dresses, gloves, and hats. Mr. Clark Jr. had classy women attend the first Derby to encourage other high-fashion men and women to come as well.<br />
<br />
Though fashion changed throughout the decades, modest hats and clothing were part of Derby attire until the 1960s. When television coverage of the Derby became more prominent, and as the fashion mores of the 1960s changed, so did the dress code. The bigger and bolder the hat, the better, so it seemed. During the last two decades of the 20th century, gloves became passe, and more casual attire, like shorts and sundresses, became acceptable in the infield.<br />
<br />
After the wedding of Prince William to Kate Middleton in 2011, the fascinator, a head accessory that is smaller than a hat, became popular.<br />
<br />
Men and women don stylish or outlandish hats and clothing now, and, as the Lexington Herald-Leader reported in the Weekender section of the April 27, 2018 edition, one will see a variety of apparel, particularly in the infield, at the Derby.<br />
<br />
We will leave you with images of Derby fashion from the 1920s to today.<br />

The Kentucky Derby and flowers, especially roses, have had a long and close association. The first floral award to the Derby winner occurred in 1896, when Ben Brush won by a nose. He was presented with a "collar" of white and pink roses. The jockey, Willie Simms, also received a bouquet of the same roses (tied with a magenta ribbon no less). In 1904, the red rose became the official flower of the Kentucky Derby, though it wasn't until 1932 that the rose garland took on its current form. In 1906 we have the earliest known photo showing the floral garland and bouquet (see below). Bill Corum in 1926 coined the phrase, "Run for the Roses." In 2009 the phrase became a registered trademark.<br />

Known variously as the "<span style="color: #231f20;"><span style="color: #231f20;"><span style="color: #231f20; font-family: inherit;">Greatest Two Minutes in Sports," "The Fastest Two Minutes in Sports," or "The Run for the Roses®," the Kentucky Derby is America's longest, continuous-running sporting event, held every year since May 17, 1875. This year's Kentucky Derby, the 144th running, will occur on May 5th at Churchill Downs—the Derby's home since its inception.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #231f20;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #231f20;">Here are 10 fun facts about the Derby you can use to amaze and impress your friends:</span><br />
<br />
<ol>
<li><span style="color: black;">Colonel Meriwether Lewis Clark, the grandson of the famous explorer, formed the Louisville Jockey Club and
acquired land for a racetrack from his uncles John and Henry Churchill.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #231f20;">The Kentucky Derby debuted in 1875. Its model was the Epsom Derby, a 1½-mile grass race that has been run in England since 1780. The Derby started as a 1½-mile turf race, but <span style="color: black;">in 1896 the <span style="font-family: inherit;">Derby was shortened to 1<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">¼-</span>miles.</span></span> </span></li>
<li>Thirteen of the 15 riders in the first Derby were African-Americans. Black jockeys won 15 of the first 28 races, with Isaac Murphy winning three.</li>
<li>The winning trainers in two of the first three Derbys were former slaves -- Ansel Williamson (Aristides, 1875) and Ed Brown (Baden-Baden, 1877).</li>
<li>In 1883 Leonatus wins the Derby, and the name “Churchill Downs” is first
used for the racetrack that is the home of the Kentucky Derby.</li>
<li>The famed Twin Spires greet the Kentucky Derby crowd for the first time on May 6th, 1895.</li>
<li>To date 143 horses have won the Derby; 109 were born in Kentucky.</li>
<li>Twelve Kentucky Derby winners went on to win the Preakness Stakes (Baltimore, MD) and the Belmont Stakes (Elmont, NK) to become Triple Crown winners. The last was American Pharaoh in 2015.</li>
<li>Three fillies have won the Kentucky Derby: Regret in 1915, Genuine Risk in 1980 and Winning Colors in 1988.</li>
<li>The Derby Trophy is the only solid-gold trophy awarded in American sports.</li>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">National Library
Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association
(ALA) and libraries across the country each April to raise awareness about
libraries. The first National Library Week (NLW) was observed in May,
1958 with the theme, "Wake up and Read!". The ALA council voted
in that year to continue the annual celebration. Now, sixty years
later, National Library Week continues to be observed. The library's theme
for National Library Week 2018 is, "Librarians Can Do It!," and the
library staff has created a display to showcase the many ways your librarians
can help you. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Juliette “Daisy” Gordon Low grew up in the southern United
States after the U.S. Civil War and married an Englishman named Willie Low.
After her husband’s death, Daisy Low met Robert Powell, the founder of the Boy
Scouts and Girl Guides. Low came back to her hometown of Savannah, GA, and she
brought the Girl Guides, calling them the Girl Scouts of America, with her.
Soon, the Girl Scouts grew beyond Savannah, and when Low passed away in 1927,
the Girl Scouts was a national organization. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Ms. Sojourner Truth was born into slavery in New York in the
late 18<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> century. Her first owners spoke Dutch, and that was the
language Ms. Truth and her family spoke as well. Before she gained her freedom
from slavery (slavery was abolished in New York state on July 4, 1827), Ms.
Truth was sold numerous times. Her last master broke his promise of freedom, so
Ms. Truth took her infant child and ran away leaving behind her husband and two
other children. Ms. Truth learned that one of her children was illegally sold
into slavery in Alabama. She fought for her son’s freedom and won. Ms. Truth
continued to fight against slavery, prison reform, and for equal suffrage for
men and women. </span> Ms. Truth spoke with President Lincoln and the Michigan state legislature about these causes before she passed away in 1883.<span style="font-family: inherit;">The quote above is from a speech she gave at a Women’s Rights
Convention in Ohio in 1851. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">A mighty force in the world of migrant workers, Ms. Huerta was
born in New Mexico in 1930. She earned her education in California, and she
taught for a brief period. Ms. Huerta began working for the Stockton Community
Service Organization (CSO), an organization that also employed C<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">é</span>sar Ch<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">á</span>vez. In 1962, Mr. Ch<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">á</span>vez
and Ms. Huerta founded the National Farm Workers Association. Her work with the
organization led to several pieces of legislation in California, including the
Agricultural Labor Relations Act of 1975. Ms. Huerta almost lost her life
during a protest against presidential candidate George H.W. Bush when an
officer used a baton on her so forcefully that her ribs were broken and her
spleen ruptured. Despite being in her late 80s, Ms. Huerta continues to work.
She has received numerous awards and recognitions for her efforts, including
the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which President Obama gave her in 2012. </span></div>

competed in horse-related sporting events prior to a horrific motorcycle
accident which paralyzed her, did not give up competing in athletic events. She
trained to be an archer and competed in national archery championships. In
1980, she qualified to attend the Olympic Games in Moscow. Sadly, due to the
boycott of the games, Ms. Fairhall did not attend the 1980 Olympics. Ms.
Fairhall competed in the double FITA archery competition in 1982, earning a
gold medal. Then, in 1984, Ms. Fairhall qualified for the Olympics in Los
Angeles. While she did not medal at the 1984 Olympics, Ms. Fairhall still made
history as the first Paralympian to compete. Ms. Fairhall continued her
athletic pursuits earning five national titles and participating in four
Paralympics.</span></span></div>

Dr. Maathai was the first woman from a Central African
country to earn her Ph.D., she was the first woman be a professor in Kenya, and
she was the first woman from an African country to receive the Nobel Peace
Prize. Perhaps her greatest legacy was the Green Belt Movement that she began
in 1977. Dr. Maathai gave women trees to plant because, “she saw tree-planting
in a broader perspective which included democracy, women’s rights, and
international solidarity.” The Nobel committee said of Maathai that, “She
thinks globally and acts locally.”</div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Sarah Breedlove came into the world in 1867 in Louisiana. The
hard-working, widowed Ms. Breedlove moved and found steady work in St. Louis,
MO, to support herself and her young daughter. Then, to solve her own hair loss
problem, Ms. Breedlove, the woman who would later take the name Madame C.J.
Walker (Charles Joseph Walker was her second husband’s name), developed hair
products. She moved her business to Denver, CO., to avoid competition in St.
Louis, and expanded her product line and her business, training a sales force
of women who sold her products. Ms. Walker was so successful as an entrepreneur
that she became a millionaire and a philanthropist. Her efforts extended to her
advocacy for the early Civil Rights movement as well. When Madam C. J. Walker
passed away in 1919, she left funds to the NAACP and the Tuskegee Institute. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%;">Mr. Fagone brings a private and humble woman to
the forefront in his engaging biography of Elizebeth Smith Friedman. Though not
a household name like J. Edgar Hoover, the United States owes a lot to Mrs. Friedman
because of her work as a cryptographer for the U.S. government. Her
code-breaking training began at a private civilian compound in Illinois where
she had the task of deciphering messages supposedly hidden in Shakespeare’s
plays. The college-educated Friedman became suspicious that Shakespeare’s plays
had any hidden secrets because only the woman who trained her could find the
secret codes, and her results could not be replicated. Elizebeth shared her
suspicions about her Shakespeare work with a scientist named William Friedman,
who worked at the compound doing genetics research. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%;">William and Elizebeth married
and left the compound in Illinois for Washington D.C., where they were employed
for the rest of their careers. Both of them studied the art of cryptography and
developed methods that their successors could use. They also collected
cryptography materials so that they and others could learn. As part of the
Coast Guard staff, Elizebeth aided the government in breaking organized crime
syndicates that ran rampant during Prohibition. The skills she honed prepared
her for cracking the communications of the Nazis working in South America
during WWII. Though not publicly credited for her efforts, records in the
National Archives demonstrate the impact she had on the national security
efforts of the United States. Fagone includes some of the codes and methods Elizebeth
used to break the codes throughout the biography. Those interested in U.S.
history, intelligence, and women’s history will find Mrs. Friedman’s biography a
compelling story. </span><br />

Malala Yousafzai came into the world in July 1997. In her home country of Pakistan, Ms. Yousafzai went to school, even though the Taliban did not want girls to be educated. For years, Ms. Yousafzai spoke out against the oppression by the Taliban and defended the right for girls to have an education. In 2012, on her way home from school, a man got on Ms. Yousafzai’s school bus and shot her in the head. She survived the attack, and went on to speak at the United Nations less than a year after the Taliban tried to take her life away. </div>
<div align="left">
</div>
<div align="left">
Ms. Yousafzai has written a book titled,<em> <strong><a href="http://sullivan.tlcdelivers.com:8080/#section=resource&resourceid=233747982" target="_blank">I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban</a></strong></em>, which chronicles her life and experiences. She also received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014, the youngest person in the history of the prize to have this gotten this award. The United Nations Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, appointed Ms. Yousafzai as a U.N. Messenger of Peace in 2017. </div>
