Tjuesjette august:
Namibia:
Loyalty, resistance and defiance against colonization, and unity.
Both Herero Day and Heroes Day embodies this, in addition to nationalism, strength and the fight for independence.
What started out as a simple relocation of a great man's remains to bury them alongside his ancestors, has grown to a 3-day event that includes a procession to several graves and a commemoration of the Namibian War of Independence.
USA:
The 100th anniversary for anything required a lot of preparing and planning, preferably at least a year's worth, and was a big deal. However, some 100th anniversaries were a bigger deal than others.
Like the one today.
It was the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, the Amendment that allowed women to vote.
The Amendment that had played a great part in women's suffrage and their fight for equal rights, and still did to this day.
So, shame on anyone, no matter how big or powerful they were, who dared to mess with this day in any way possible or degrading it and its purpose.
No matter the state of the world today.
