Pony Express Day
The Pony Express was a mail service delivering messages, newspapers, and mail using relays of horse-mounted riders that operated from April 3, 1860, to October 26, 1861, between Missouri and California in the United States of America. So today we celebrate the anniversary of the Pony Express.
Tweed Day
So today is one of those daily holidays that seems to have a double meaning. When researching Tweed Day we found both of these reasons to observe tweed today. First being There is some confusion as to what exactly Tweed Day is for remembering “Boss” Tweed, on his birthday, April 3, 1923. who was an American politician most notable for being the “boss” of Tammany Hall, the Democratic Party political machine that played a major role in the politics of 19th-century New York City and State. But would we really honor a man who was convicted for stealing a minimum, but probably more than $25 million from New York City taxpayers? The second possible reason for Tweed day would be to celebrate the Scottish rough, woolen and woven fabric? So we guess, take your pick.
Weed Out Hate: Sow The Seeds of Greatness Day
WeedOutHate.org. was created by a Jewish man, Marc Daniels, whose grandfather had invented a root feeder, an irrigation tool that allows people to nourish the deepest roots of trees and shrubs. On his website he talks about how Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. started weeding out hate when he gave his, “I have a Dream” speech, and Daniels created Weed Out Hate Day, to continue on that trajectory. Note that this date is the anniversary of Martin Luther’s King’s, “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” speech. Visit his website here.
World Party Day
World Party Day stems from a novel entitled, “Flight: A Quantum Fiction Novel” written by author, Vanna Bonta. Published in 1995, the novel ends with a big party around the world that takes place on April 3. Since the novel, World Party Day has been observed around the world since 1996, to bring people from around the world today even if just in spirit to enjoy music, food and humanity together as one.
