#5: I Am an American Day
Born amid the turmoil of World War II, “I Am an American Day” sparked patriotic celebrations across the nation on the third Sunday in May. On this day, from 1940 until 1952, cities erupted in massive parades where newly naturalized citizens proudly marched alongside native-born Americans. This forgotten holiday was inspired by a newspaper tycoon’s vision and reminded everyone that being American was about unity — not birthplace. Maybe it’s time to bring this tradition back!
