On May 9, 1914, President Woodrow Wilson issues a presidential proclamation that officially establishes the first national Mothers Day holiday to celebrate Americas mothers.
The idea for a “Mothers Day” is credited by some to Julia Ward Howe (1872) and by others to Anna Jarvis (1907), who both suggested a holiday dedicated to a day of peace. Many individual states celebrated Mothers Day by 1911, but it was not until Wilson lobbied Congress in 1914 that Mothers Day was officially set on the second Sunday of every May. In his first Mothers Day proclamation, Wilson stated that the holiday offered a chance to “[publicly express] our love and reverence for the mothers of our country.”
