  • MHC Memory Support August 2020 Happy Birthday, Hawaii! Hawaii Celebrates Statehood Day on August 21St
    MHC Memory Support August 2020 Happy Birthday, Hawaii! Hawaii Celebrates Statehood Day on August 21st Statehood Day or Admission Day is a legal holiday in the state of Hawaii in the United States. It is celebrated annually on the third Friday in August to commemorate the anniversary of the state's 1959 admission to the Union. It was first celebrated in 1969. Statehood bills for Hawaii were introduced into the U.S. Congress as early as 1919 by Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole, the non-voting delegate sent by the Territory of Hawaii to the U.S. Congress. Additional bills were introduced in 1935, 1947 and 1950. In 1959, the U.S. Congress approved the statehood bill, the Hawaii Admission Act. This was followed by a referendum in which Hawaiian residents voted 94% in support of statehood (the ballot question was: "Shall Hawaii immediately be admitted into the Union as a state?"), and on August 21, 1959 (the third Friday in August), President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a proclamation making Hawaii the 50th state. Did you know? Outside of Hawaii, the third Friday of August is celebrated as "Hawaiian Shirt Day", when people are encouraged to wear a Hawaiian shirt as a way of celebrating this event.

    THE CIVICS ALLIANCE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SCHOLARS MODEL CIVICS LEGISLATION SPECIAL OBSERVANCES ACT Introduction Many states make provision for programs of civic instruction keyed to one or more federal holidays, or to other specified days, weeks, or months. We have incorporated elements of all categories of state statute pertaining to Special Observances into our model Special Observances legislation. Many states make provision for Special Observances unique to their state. Arizona commemorates Sandra Day O’Connor, Illinois commemorates Leif Erickson, New Jersey commemorates Commodore John Barry. We encourage states to add unique civic observances to the list we provide. We restrict our list to observances linked to federal holidays, or to other aspects of national commemoration. Model Legislative Text SECTION A: The governing body of any school district or public charter school shall conduct appropriate patriotic exercises, and prepare programs of relevant civic and historical instruction that convey the meaning and significance of the day, on the day or week preceding or following these holidays: (1) Constitution Day; (2) Columbus Day; (3) Veterans Day; (4) Thanksgiving Day; (5) Bill of Rights Day; (6) Martin Luther King Day; (7) George Washington’s birthday; (8) Abraham Lincoln’s birthday; (9) Armed Forces Day; and (10) Memorial Day. SECTION B: If any provision of this chapter, or the application of any provision to any person or circumstance, is held to be invalid, the remainder of this chapter and the application of its provisions to any other person or circumstance shall not be affected thereby.

It is observed on September 17, the day the United States Constitutional Convention signed the Constitution in 1787. CONSTITUTION DAY AND CITIZENSHIP DAY, CONSTITUTION WEEK, 2014 BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA A PROCLAMATION Eleven years after a small band of patriots declared the independence of our new Nation, our Framers set out to refine the promise of liberty and codify the principles of our Republic. Though the topics were contentious and the debate fierce, the delegates' shared ideals and commitment to a more perfect Union yielded compromise. Signed on September 17, 1787, our Constitution enshrined -- in parchment and in the heart of our young country -- the foundation of justice, equality, dignity, and fairness, and became the cornerstone of the world's oldest constitutional democracy. For more than two centuries, our founding charter has guided our progress and defined us as a people.

  • Commemorative Observances: a Chronological List
    Order Code 98-45 C Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Commemorative Observances: A Chronological List Updated February 12, 2003 Glenda Richardson Information Research Specialist Information Research Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress Commemorative Observances: A Chronological List Summary Historically, national commemorative observances were often recommended by Congress through the legislative process. This practice was for the most part discontinued by the House of Representatives in January 1995, although the Senate continues to issue sense of the Senate resolutions recommending the establishment of commemoratives. It has now become standard practice for special observances to be designated by a proclamation issued by the President. A recent noteworthy departure from current congressional policy is P.L. 107-89, which designates September 11 as Patriot Day and calls upon the President to issue an annual proclamation calling on the American people to commemorate Patriot Day. This report is a chronological list of these proclamations for 2002 and 2003, indicating the proclamation number and its Federal Register citation. This report will be updated periodically during the year.
