Dr. Carla Hayden, Lizzo, and the LOC's 200-Year-Old Crystal Flute (R)

On Wednesday, September 28, 2022, Lizzo visited the Library of Congress as their guest and was treated to the largest flute collection in the world. The instrument she played and, indeed, the very act of playing it, are Worth Noting. This is a rebroadcast of an episode of Worth Noting that originally aired Oct 08, 2022 on A Kids Co. On May 8, 2025 President Donald Trump fired the Librarian of Congress, Dr. Carla Hayden, via email, a move that immediately drew sharp condemnation from her supporters. This episode is being rebroadcasted to highlight just one of many highlights in the impactful term of our 14th Librarian of Congress, who was appointed to the position by President Barrack Obama and served as the first female and first African American Librarian of Congress.
