It’s Labor Day Weekend! Do you know the reason or meaning of
this holiday? Labor Day was created as a holiday to celebrate and honor the
hard workers in the United States. It was first celebrated in 1882 in New York
City. Nationally, the celebration started in 1894 after President Cleveland
signed it into law (US Department of Labor).
The first form of
celebrations was having parades followed by recreation fun for workers and
their families. Over the decades, recognition has included speeches from major
playmakers in the different unions.
Today,
many mark Labor Day as the unofficial end to the summer and the last day to
wear white. Some families are having their family reunions. Others will find a
good old cookout.
How are you celebrating it?
