May 9, 1914
President Woodrow Wilson proclaims the first national Mother's Day holiday. The origins of Mother's Day in the United States are often attributed to social activist Julia Ward Howe, who called for the day as a way to protest the senseless killing of the sons of mothers in the Civil War and to celebrate peace and motherhood. Her campaign netted very little, although several individual U.S. states began to celebrate Mother's Day a few years prior to Wilson's proclamation. On the first official Mother's Day, Wilson called the holiday a chance to express "love and reverence for the mothers of our country." Today more than 40 countries observe some version of this holiday.
