SUMMARY:Mental Health Awareness Month
DESCRIPTION:The month of May has been recognized as Mental Health Awareness Month in the United States since 1949. It was founded by the Mental Health America organization (then known as the National Association for Mental Health) in order to raise awareness and educate the public about mental illness\, including conditions like depression\, schizophrenia\, and bipolar disorder\, and reduce the stigma surrounding mental illness. \nMental Health Month aims to raise awareness regarding the trauma and societal impact that mental illness can have on the physical\, emotional\, and mental well-being of children\, families\, and communities as a whole. \nSourced from https://www.lehighcenter.com/history/the-inspiring-history-of-mental-health-awareness-month/

SUMMARY:Older Americans Month
DESCRIPTION:When Older Americans Month was established in 1963\, only 17 million living Americans had reached their 65th birthday. About a third of older Americans lived in poverty and there were few programs to meet their needs. Interest in older Americans and their concerns was growing. A meeting in April 1963 between President John F. Kennedy and members of the National Council of Senior Citizens led to designating May as “Senior Citizens Month\,” the prelude to “Older Americans Month.” \nHistorically\, Older Americans Month has been a time to acknowledge the contributions of past and current older persons to our country\, in particular those who defended our country. Every President since Kennedy has issued a formal proclamation during or before the month of May asking that the entire nation pay tribute in some way to older persons in their communities. Older Americans Month is celebrated across the country through ceremonies\, events\, fairs\, and other such activities. \nSourced from https://acl.gov/oam/history

SUMMARY:Jewish American Heritage Month
DESCRIPTION:May is Jewish American Heritage Month – On April 20\, 2006\, President George W. Bush proclaimed that May would be Jewish American Heritage Month. The announcement was the crowning achievement in an effort by the Jewish Museum of Florida and South Florida Jewish community leaders that resulted in resolutions introduced by Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida and Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania urging the president to proclaim a month that would recognize the more than 350-year history of Jewish contributions to American culture. The resolutions passed unanimously\, first in the House of Representatives in December 2005 and later in the Senate in February 2006. \nThe month of May was chosen due to the highly successful celebration of the 350th Anniversary of American Jewish History in May 2004\, which was organized by the Commission for Commemorating 350 Years of American Jewish History. This coalition was composed of the Jacob Rader Marcus Center of the American Jewish Archives\, the American Jewish Historical Society\, the Library of Congress and the National Archives and Records Administration. \nThis site presents only a sample of the digital and physical holdings related to Jewish American heritage available from the Library of Congress and other participating agencies. \nLeading the way in implementation of the annual celebration is the Jewish American Heritage Month Coalition\, formed in March 2007 and convened by United Jewish Communities\, the Jacob Rader Marcus Center of the American Jewish Archives and the American Jewish Historical Society. \nSourced from https://www.jewishheritagemonth.gov/about

SUMMARY:National Freedom Day
DESCRIPTION:February 1st is National Freedom Day in the United States. National Freedom Day is celebrated because on February 1st\, 1865 Abraham Lincoln signed the joint resolution from the House and the Senate that eventually became the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution—the amendment that officially ended slavery in the United States. \nThis year and every year\, make it a point to celebrate National Freedom Day and use it as an opportunity to educate others about the importance of becoming a modern day abolitionist. \nAdditionally\, National Freedom Day is a great time to learn more about your country’s relationship with slavery—as understanding the struggle of historical slavery is crucial when trying to eradicate modern day slavery. \nSourced from http://www.endslaverynow.org/act/action-library/honor-national-freedom-day
