In 1937, President Roosevelt proclaimed October 12 as "Columbus

Слайд 7Memorial Day
Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day
of remembrance for those who have died in our nation's
service.
Слайд 9Thanksgiving
The Pilgrims had much to celebrate, they had built homes
in the wilderness, they had raised enough crops to keep
them alive during the long coming winter, they were at peace with their Indian neighbors. They had beaten the odds and it was time to celebrate.
Слайд 10Thanksgiving
The Pilgrims, who celebrated the first Thanksgiving in America, were
fleeing religious persecution in their native England. In 1609 a
group of Pilgrims left England for the religious freedom.
Слайд 11Christmas
Christmas observance is a conglomeration of several other festivals. To
early Christians, it commemorates the birth of the Christ Child.
Слайд 12Christmas
Today the practices associated with Christmas are likewise a conglomeration
of different traditions from many different origins. Santa Claus, Carols,
St. Nicholas, Yule Logs, Candles, Colored Lights, Christmas Cards, Christmas Trees, etc. all have different roots which are now blended into a single new tradition.
Слайд 13In 1914, Red Fox James, a Blackfoot from Montana, traveled
on horseback four thousand miles soliciting the aid of governors
for a holiday honoring the American Indians. He presented his proposal to a group of governors in Washington DC on December 14, 1914 where it was adopted by 24 states.Native American Day
Слайд 14 In the 1915 annual meeting of the American Indian
Association, 1,250 Native Americans gathered in Lawrence, Kansas and sanctioned
the plan. At this session, September 28, the fourth Friday in September, was set forth as the designated dateNative American Day
Слайд 15Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
“Free at last, free at last
, Thank God Almighty, we are free at last.”
Слайд 16Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
It took many years for Congress
to decide to celebrate the holiday. In the years leading
up to the official decree many African-Americans celebrated the birthday themselves with a few states declaring King's birthday a state holiday. The bill was finally passed by both the House of Representatives and the Senate and was signed into law on November 2, 1983.
Слайд 17Veteran’s Day
In 1921, an unknown World War I American soldier
was buried in Arlington National Cemetery. These memorial services all
took place on November 11, the anniversary of the end of World War I at 11:00 a.m., November 11, 1918 (the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month), which became known as Armistice Day.
Слайд 18Veteran’s Day
Armistice Day officially became a holiday in the United
States in 1926, and a national holiday 12 years later.
On June 1, 1954, the name was changed to Veterans Day to honor all U.S. veterans.
