Mother's Day started with one woman by the name of Anna Jarvis. Anna was an
Appalachian homemaker and she organized a day to raise awareness of poor
health conditions of her community. She thought the day would be best
promoted by mothers and called the day "Mother's Work Day".
When Anna died in 1905 her daughter, also named Anna, began a campaign to
memorialize the life work of her mother. Anna remembered that her mother
said there were many days dedicated to men but not for mothers. She began
to lobby the politicians of the time to support a day dedicated to
mothers. Anna Jarvis talked to many politicians including Presidents Taft
and Roosevelt hoping they would support her campaign.
She organized a church service to celebrate her mother in 1908 and Anna
handed out white carnations to those in attendance because the white
carnation was her mother's favorite flower. Anna Jarvis' hard work began
to pay off five years after that service in 1913. The House of
Representatives adopted a resolution calling for officials of the federal
government to wear white carnations on the day many began calling Mother's
Day, the second Sunday in May.
Finally on May 8, 1914 President Woodrow Wilson signed a Joint Resolution
designating the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day. |
