On This Day

In 1947, The first interracial Freedom Ride began through the upper South in violation of Jim Crow laws. The riders were demanding enforcement of the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1946 Irene Morgan decision that banned racial segregation in interstate travel. This was later known as the Journey of Reconciliation.

National Cherish an Antique Day! This day is reserved to recognize the many people that buy, sell, repair, appraise, and collect vintage items and antiques. I have a love for antique cars. What is the oldest thing you own? Is it an hand-me-down or a prized collection?

National Name Yourself Day! Tired of hearing your name called all the time? Ever wanted to have another name or change your name? Today is the day! You can spend the day with any name of your choosing.

National Winston Churchill Day! Proclaimed in 1963 by President John F. Kennedy, in honor of an honorary U.S. citizen. Although an unofficial holiday, we can still recognize his many accomplishments.

National Chinese Almond Cookie Day! The Chinese almond cookie is a plain cookie with an almond in the center. This is thought to bring good luck in Chinese cultures. Today enjoy a Chinese Almond cookie and see what luck it brings you.

National Former Prisoner of War Recognition Day! Today commemorates the same day in 1942 when U.S. forces surrendered on the Bataan Peninsula. This began the Bataan Death March of 1942.

National Library Workers Day! Today we recognize the hard work, dedication, and valuable contribution made by all library workers. It is always celebrated on Tuesday of National Library Week. Visit your library, help replenish their Blessing Box, and let them know how much you appreciate them.

National Jazz Appreciation Month! This is fondly known as “JAM” and was created in 2002 by The National Museum of American History. Today we honor and celebrate the jazz heritage and history. JAM is intended to stimulate and encourage people to participate in jazz. Whether you study, attend concerts, listen to it on radio or recordings, or read about it; you are honoring JAM!
