May’s Historic Events and Wacky Holidays
THE MAGIC OF MAY GOLDEN BRIDGES, GREAT RACES, AND NO SOCKS?
May is more than just blooming flowers and warmer days — it is packed with history, milestones, and quirky celebrations. From groundbreaking firsts to traditions that have stood the test of time, let’s dive into some fascinating facts about this merry month! One of the most honored traditions tied to May began on May 5, 1865, when Decoration Day was first observed. What started as a way to honor Civil War soldiers by adorning their graves with flowers evolved into modern Memorial Day. Over time, the tribute expanded to include those who served in both World Wars, and in 1971, Congress made it an official holiday observed on the last Monday of May.
Speaking of historical milestones, on May 10, 1994, Nelson Mandela made history as he was inaugurated as South Africa’s first freely elected president. After years of imprisonment and tireless advocacy for equality, Mandela’s victory signaled a new era for the country, proving that justice could triumph. For sports fans, the first Kentucky Derby was held at Churchill Downs in Louisville on May 17, 1875. Spectators had no clue they were witnessing the beginning of what would become one of the most famous horse races in the world. For aviation enthusiasts, May 20, 1932, marks Amelia Earhart’s solo flight across the Atlantic. Departing from Newfoundland, she landed
in Ireland 13 hours later, paving the way for generations of female aviators.
And let’s not forget May 27, 1937, when San Francisco’s iconic Golden Gate Bridge opened to the public. A massive celebration allowed 200,000 people to walk across the new bridge, creating a once-in-a-lifetime pedestrian parade. But May is not just about serious history — there are plenty of lighthearted ways to celebrate, too! Ever wanted an excuse to ditch your socks? May 8 is No Socks Day! Do you feel like pulling off a ridiculous dance move? May 14 is Dance Like a Chicken Day! And for anyone who loves their dentist, Root Canal Appreciation Day falls on the second Wednesday of May.
