Weekly Knowledge Section: Why Do We Celebrate Labor Day? Labor Day pays tribute to the contributions and achievements of American workers and is traditionally observed on the first Monday in September. It was created by the labor movement in the late 19th century and became a federal holiday in 1894. Labor Day weekend also symbolizes the end of summer for many Americans, and is celebrated with parties, street parades and athletic events. Labor Day, an annual celebration of workers and their achievements, originated during one of American labor history’s most dismal chapters. In the late 1800s, at the height of the Industrial Revolution in the United States, the average American worked 12-hour days and seven-day weeks in order to eke out a basic living. Despite restrictions in some states, children as young as 5 or 6 toiled in mills, factories and mines across the country, earning a fraction of their adult counterparts’ wages. People of all ages, particularly the very poor and recent immigrants, often faced extremely unsafe working conditions, with insufficient access to fresh air, sanitary facilities and breaks.
Who Created Labor Day? In the wake of this massive unrest and in an attempt to repair ties with American workers, Congress passed an act making Labor Day a legal holiday in the District of Columbia and the territories. On June 28, 1894, President Grover Cleveland signed it into law. More than a century later, the true founder of Labor Day has yet to be identified.
Many credit Peter J. McGuire, cofounder of the American Federation of Labor, while others have suggested that Matthew Maguire, a secretary of the Central Labor Union, first proposed the holiday.
1836: Sam Houston is elected as president of the Republic of Texas, which earned its independence from Mexico in a successful military rebellion. 1914: French general gives order to attack at the Marne 1976: The first episode of The Muppet Show, which was cocreated by Jim Henson, aired, and the TV series became hugely popular, known for a cast of puppet characters that included Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy. 1991: AIDS activists unfurl a giant condom over home of North Carolina Senator Jesse Helms. reading “A CONDOM TO STOP UNSAFE POLITICS: HELMS IS DEADLIER THAN A VIRUS,” a decidedly unsubtle response to Helms’ vehement opposition to gay rights and to funding AIDS research and treatment.

Some rely heavily on mock meats and other processed foods to replace their favorite animal foods. However, these types of foods are often not the most nutritious options. Luckily, there are many ways to add vitamin- and mineral-rich fruits and vegetables to your meals. For instance, mashed banana is a great substitute for eggs in baking recipes. Banana “ice cream” is a popular replacement for dairy-based ice cream. Simply blend a frozen banana until it’s smooth. Then you can add your preferred toppings. Eggplant and mushrooms, especially cremini or Portobello, are a great way to get a meaty texture in vegetable form. They’re particularly easy to grill. Perhaps surprisingly, jackfruit is a great stand-in for meat in savory dishes such as stir-fries and barbecue sandwiches. Cauliflower is a versatile addition to many recipes, including pizza crust. Vegans should also aim to increase their intake of iron- and calcium-rich fruits and vegetables. This includes leafy greens such as bok choy, spinach, kale, watercress, and mustard greens. Broccoli, turnip greens, artichokes, and black currants are also great options.
