   Extractions: E-Texts Celebrate! Holidays in the USA: Thanksgiving National Celebrations (Portrait of America) Outline of American History Thanksgiving Day is the fourth Thursday in November, but many Americans take a day of vacation on the following Friday to make a four-day weekend, during which they may travel long distances to visit family and friends. The holiday dates back to 1621, the year after the Puritans arrived in Massachusetts, determined to practice their dissenting religion without interference. After a rough winter, in which about half of them died, they turned for help to neighboring Indians, who taught them how to plant corn and other crops. The next fall's bountiful harvest inspired the Pilgrims to give thanks by holding a feast. The Thanksgiving feast became a national tradition not only because so many other Americans have found prosperity but also because the Pilgrims' sacrifices for their freedom still captivate the imagination.

    Extractions: Search DLTK's Black History Month was established in 1926. Although there is an international aspect to Black History month, it is mainly an American holiday. In 1926, Dr. Carter Godwin Woodson and other African American and white scholars, launched "Negro History Week" so that Americans could reflect on the history and contributions of African Americans. In the 1970s, the celebration of African American history was expanded to include the entire month of February. Black History Month should not be confused with a national holiday for African countries. African countries have their own national holidays at various times throughout the year. For example, Kenya's national holiday is on December 12th.

Black History Topic at Barnes and Noble In the early sixties I was a child growing up and hearing the news reports of protests and literacy test to vote and violations of "white only" facilities. I never fully appreciated the freedoms that were afforded to me and my parents but denied to other children and their parents. It just did not make sense. Today we hear terms like affirmative action and such. My hope is one day we will all be people, with no need to identify race, color or creed ... just to say each person is unique.
