Happy Independence Day!

Happy Independence Day to those of you in the United States. Today IDEA is celebrating the Fourth of July by introducing three new American subjects. Illuminating the geographical, ethnic, and cultural diversity of the U.S., they are an African American from the south suburbs of Chicago, a young Caucasian girl from Seattle, and a Cuban American from Florida. Thanks to Jabari Khaliq for the Illinois self-submission, and also to IDEA Associate Editor Sarah Nichols for the Washington State and Florida submissions.
