ROSA LOUISE PARKS
ROSA LOUISE PARKS
Rosa Louise Parks was nationally recognized as the “mother of the modern day civil rights movement” in America. Her refusal to surrender her seat to a white male passenger on a Montgomery, Alabama bus, December 1, 1955, triggered a wave of protest December 5, 1955 that reverberated throughout the United States. Her quiet courageous act changed America, its view of black people and redirected the course of history.
Mrs. Parks was born Rosa Louise McCauley, February 4, 1913 in Tuskegee, Alabama. She was the first child of James and Leona Edwards McCauley. Her brother, Sylvester McCauley, now deceased, was born August 20, 1915. Later, the family moved to Pine Level, Alabama where Rosa was reared and educated in the rural school. When she completed her education in Pine Level at age eleven, her mother, Leona, enrolled her in Montgomery Industrial School for Girls (Miss White’s School for Girls), a private institution. After finishing Miss White’s School, she went on to Alabama State Teacher’s College High School. She, however, was unable to graduate with her class, because of the illness of her grandmother Rose Edwards and later her death.
As Rosa Parks prepared to return to Alabama State Teacher’s College, her mother also became ill, therefore, she continued to take care of their home and care for her mother while her brother, Sylvester, worked outside of the home. She received her high school diploma in 1934, after her marriage to Raymond Parks, December 18, 1932. Raymond, now deceased was born in Wedowee, Alabama, Randolph County, February 12, 1903, received little formal education due to racial segregation. He was a self-educated person with the assistance of his mother, Geri Parks. His immaculate dress and his thorough knowledge of domestic affairs and current events made most think he was college educated. He supported and encouraged Rosa’s desire to complete her formal education.
Mr. Parks was an early activist in the effort to free the “Scottsboro Boys,” a celebrated case in the 1930′s. Together, Raymond and Rosa worked in the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP’s) programs. He was an active member and she served as secretary and later youth leader of the local branch. At the time of her arrest, she was preparing for a major youth conference.
After the arrest of Rosa Parks, black people of Montgomery and sympathizers of other races organized and promoted a boycott of the city bus line that lasted 381 days. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was appointed the spokesperson for the Bus Boycott and taught nonviolence to all participants. Contingent with the protest in Montgomery, others took shape throughout the south and the country. They took form as sit-ins, eat-ins, swim-ins, and similar causes. Thousands of courageous people joined the “protest” to demand equal rights for all people.
Mrs. Parks moved to Detroit, Michigan in 1957. In 1964 she became a deaconess in the African Methodist Episcopal Church (AME).
Congressman John Conyers First Congressional District of Michigan employed Mrs. Parks, from 1965 to 1988. In February, 1987, she co-founded the Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self Development with Ms. Elaine Eason Steele in honor of her husband, Raymond (1903-1977). The purpose is to motivate and direct youth not targeted by other programs to achieve their highest potential. Rosa Parks sees the energy of young people as a real force for change. It is among her most treasured themes of human priorities as she speaks to young people of all ages at schools, colleges, and national organizations around the world.
The Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self Development’s “Pathways to Freedom program, traces the underground railroad into the civil rights movement and beyond. Youth, ages 11 through 17, meet and talk with Mrs. Parks and other national leaders as they participate in educational and historical research throughout the world. They journey primarily by bus as “freedom riders” did in the 1960′s,the theme: “Where have we been? Where are we going?”
As a role model for youth she was stimulated by their enthusiasm to learn as much about her life as possible. A modest person, she always encourages them to research the lives of other contributors to world peace. The Institute and The Rosa Parks Legacy are her legacies to people of good will.
Mrs. Parks received more than forty-three honorary doctorate degrees, including one from SOKA UNIVERSITY, Tokyo Japan, hundreds of plaques, certificates, citations, awards and keys to many cities. Among them are the NAACP’s Spingarn Medal, the UAW’s Social Justice Award, the Martin Luther King, Jr. Non – Violent Peace Prize and the ROSA PARKS PEACE PRIZE in 1994, Stockholm Sweden, to name a few. In September 1996 President William J. Clinton, the forty second President of the United States of America gave Mrs. Parks the MEDAL OF FREEDOM, the highest award given to a civilian citizen.

On September 26, 1998 Mrs. Parks was the recipient of the first International Freedom Conductor’s Award by the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center in Cincinnati, Ohio.
She attended her first “State of the Union Address” in January 1999. Mrs. Parks received a unanimous bipartisan standing ovation when President William Jefferson Clinton acknowledged her. Representative Julia Carson of Indianapolis, Indiana introduced H. R. Bill 573 on February 4, 1999, which would award Mrs. Rosa Parks the Congressional Gold Medal of Honor if it passed the House of Representatives and the Senate by a majority. The bill was passed unanimously in the Senate on April 19, and with one descenting vote in the House of Representatives on April 20. President Clinton signed it into law on May 3, 1999. Mrs. Parks was one of only 250 individuals at the time, including the American Red Cross to receive this honor. President George Washington was the first to receive the Congressional Gold Medal of Honor. President Nelson Mandela is also listed among the select few of world leaders who have received the medal.

INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY – March 8
INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY
International Women’s Day on March 8th each year celebrates the social, economic, and political achievements of women around the world. The day also brings international awareness to gender parity. According to the World Economic Forum, global gender equality is estimated to be achieved by 2133.
Gender equality is equal access to the same rights and opportunities regardless of gender. These rights and opportunities include:
healthcare
education
employment / economic gain
pay
protection under the law
right to vote
free from violence
Striving for Change
Holding Political Office
Just over 100 years ago, only .2 % of the United States Congress consisted of women. Actually, the 65th Congress was comprised of a single woman. In 1916, Montana elected Republican Jeannette Rankin as the first Congresswoman to hold a federal office. Fast forward to the year 2020 and women hold 23.7% of the U.S. Congressional seats. While that might seem like progress, according to United Nations statistics, the U.S. percentage matches exactly the worldwide average for women in political office.
Education
In many parts of the world, women are less likely to own land, a business, or attend school. Education alone is a powerful tool leading to financial independence for women. Their children reap the rewards, often for generations to come. Additionally, when the women of a community prosper, so does the community. Educated women and girls are more likely to educate their offspring. They also have a better understanding of healthcare and understand their rights.
HOW TO OBSERVE INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY
Around the world, organizations, communities, and individuals organize events focused on the mission of gender parity, celebrating the achievements of women worldwide and education.
Attend a lecture, seminar, or festival.
Organize an event.
Speak or perform at a local fundraiser.
Participate in a march for women’s equal rights.
Learn about the women who paved the way for many of the rights and freedoms we have today.
Become involved in your local, state, or national political system.
Invite others to join you, including other women, sons, brothers, sisters, and daughters.
Share your job skills at a local career fair.
Celebrate all month long. It is also National Women’s History Month.
Use #InternationalWomensDay when posting on Social Media.
INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY HISTORY
International Women’s Day origins can be traced back to the early 1900s when women became more politically active. They took an invested and vocal role in steering their course toward voting rights, fair pay, improved working conditions, and representation under the law.

WORLD KIDNEY DAY
WORLD KIDNEY DAY
World Kidney Day on the second Thursday in March sets out each year to create increased awareness about kidney care.
#WorldKidneyDay
Our kidneys are vital to our everyday health, and many health issues contribute to Chronic Kidney Disease. Preventative measures help to reduce our risks and improve outcomes.
Several health conditions impact our kidneys. These are just a few:
Diabetes is one of the leading causes of kidney failure.
High blood pressure weakens blood vessels, including the ones in the kidneys.
High Cholesterol impacts how well the kidneys work and can also lead to high blood pressure and diabetes.
Anorexia Nervosa causes chronic kidney disease due to the lack of a healthy balance of water, electrolytes, and salt in the body.
Lupus causes your immune system to attack parts of your body. It sometimes impacts the kidneys, too.
Polycystic Kidney Disease causes cysts to grow inside the kidneys.
Early Chronic Kidney Disease usually has no symptoms, so early detection is essential. Educating medical professionals, identifying high-risk populations, and increasing donor programs are some of the key objectives of reducing Chronic Kidney Disease.
HOW TO OBSERVE WORLD KIDNEY DAY
If you’re on a medication regimen that requires testing of your kidney function on a regular schedule, be sure to follow your physician’s instructions.
Learn about conditions, such as diabetes and high blood pressure, that increase the risk for Chronic Kidney Disease.
Find out if kidney diseases run in your family and update your medical records with your family physician.
Volunteer to support those receiving dialysis.
Attend a seminar or screening at a local clinic.
Learn about donor programs and consider becoming a donor.
Learn more by visiting www.worldkidneyday.org

Georgia O'Keeffe Quotes
O’Keeffe grew up with six siblings on a Wisconsin dairy farm and received art lessons at home as a child. Throughout her school years, teachers recognized and cultivated her ability to draw and paint. Upon graduation from high school, O’Keeffe determined to become a professional artist.
She first attended the Art Institute of Chicago (1905–06), and then she went to New York City to study at the Art Students League. O’Keeffe quickly became proficient at imitative realism, the approach to image making that formed the basis of all standard art-school curriculum at the time, and in 1908 she won the league’s William Merritt Chase still life prize for her oil painting Untitled (Dead Rabbit with Copper Pot) (1908). However, because she believed that she would never distinguish herself as a painter within the tradition of imitative realism, she abandoned her commitment to being a painter altogether and took a job in Chicago as a commercial artist.
While with her family in 1912, O’Keeffe attended a summer course for art teachers at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, which was taught by Alon Bement of Teachers College, Columbia University, in New York City. Bement acquainted her with the then-revolutionary thinking of his colleague at Teachers College, artist and art educator Arthur Wesley Dow. Dow believed in the Modernist idea that the subject of artists’ work should be their personal ideas and feelings and that these could be visualized most effectively through the harmonious arrangement of line, colour, and notan (the Japanese system of arranging lights and darks).
Georgia O'Keeffe, (born November 15, 1887, near Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, U.S.—died March 6, 1986, Santa Fe, New Mexico), American painter who was among the most influential figures in Modernism, best known for her large-format paintings of natural subjects, especially flowers and bones.

WORLD OBESITY DAY
WORLD OBESITY DAY
Every year on March 4th, World Obesity Day encourages people across the globe to respond to the obesity crisis. It’s also a day to increase obesity awareness, encourage advocacy, improve policies, and share experiences.
According to the Worldwide Health Organization (WHO), obesity affected over 650 million adults in 2016. Today, that number is closer to 800 million. This number has tripled since 1975.

Premature death
High blood pressure
Type 2 diabetes
Coronary heart disease
Sleep apnea
Chronic pain
Certain kinds of cancers
Obesity also takes a toll on one’s mental health as well. It’s not uncommon for those who are obese to suffer with anxiety, depression, and other mental disorders.
Some people mistakenly think that overeating is the sole cause of obesity. This may be true in some cases, but not all. There are other causes of obesity. Some of the root causes of obesity include genetics, lack of sleep, poor mental health, certain medications, and a lack of access to proper healthcare. Some people also lack an education on basic nutrition.
Those who struggle with obesity often experience weight bias. This means that people have a negative attitude about them because of their weight. When this occurs, those who are obese can be discriminated against in the workplace or education setting.

WORLD TENNIS DAY
WORLD TENNIS DAY
Every year on the first Monday in March, World Tennis Day seeks to increase tennis participation around the world. It’s also a day to learn more about influential tennis players throughout history.
The origins of tennis go all the way back to the 12th century. During this time, European monks had developed a handball game called “paume.” Later, instead of hitting the ball with the hand, leather gloves were used. These gloves eventually evolved into racquets.
Between the 16th and 18th centuries, the game became popular with kings and noblemen. In the 1530s, King Henry VIII built a tennis court at Hampton Court Palace. Over 300 years later, the United States held its first lawn tennis tournament. Since then, the game has steadily increased in popularity. Today, tennis ranks as the fourth most popular sport in the world.
Some of the world’s most influential tennis players include:
Billie Jean King – She is considered the pioneer and godmother of women’s tennis.
Arthur Ashe – He was the first black tennis player selected to the U.S. Davis Cup team.
Chris Evert – She competed in the semi-finals of the U.S. Open at just 16 years of age.
John McEnroe – He is one of the most high-profile tennis players in the world.
Venus and Serena Williams – These sisters have won 57 Grand Slam trophies and 8 Olympic Gold medals.

WORLD HEARING DAY
WORLD HEARING DAY
Every year on March 3rd, World Hearing Day raises awareness about hearing loss prevention. It’s also a day that promotes ear and hearing care.
#WorldHearingDay
According to the World Health Organization, 466 million people worldwide, or 5 percent of the world’s population, are affected by hearing loss. Thirty-four million of those affected by hearing loss are children. If we do nothing, over 900 million people will have disabling hearing loss by 2050. Disabling hearing loss means that adults over the age of 15 have hearing loss greater than 40 decibels (dB). Children between the ages of 0 and 14 have hearing loss that is greater than 30 dB.
The primary types of hearing loss include:
Sensorineural: Caused by inner ear nerve damage, usually due to age or prolonged exposure to noise. Treatment options typically include hearing aids.
Conductive: Caused by earwax, fluids, tumors, or other obstructions in the outer or middle ear. Treatment usually requires removal of the obstruction, which may require surgery or medicine.
Some people also have mixed hearing loss. This type of hearing loss is a combination of sensorineural and conductive hearing loss. All of these types of hearing loss are considered an acquired hearing loss. Those who have congenital hearing loss means they are born with this condition.
Some things that increase one’s chances of having hearing loss include genes, exposure to disease while in utero, and trauma to the head or ear. Diseases such as meningitis, mumps, severe jaundice cases, and chickenpox can also cause hearing loss.
Hearing loss affects many aspects of a person’s life. Some negative repercussions of hearing loss include decreased socialization, depression, increased irritability, communication problems, increased risk to personal safety, weakened memory, and reduced work performance.
HOW TO OBSERVE WORLD HEARING DAY
Each year on this day, WHO disseminates a variety of evidence-based materials on hearing loss to partners in government, policymakers, and regional WHO offices. These materials include brochures, presentations, infographics, and flyers. The WHO encourages audiologists and hearing loss specialists to offer free hearing screenings along with getting out vital information on hearing loss prevention and treatment.
To participate:
Schedule an appointment for a hearing screening.
Learn about ways to protect your hearing.

WORLD WILDLIFE DAY – MARCH 3
WORLD WILDLIFE DAY
World Wildlife Day on March 3rd annually dedicates a celebration to all life on our planet. The yearly event is regarded as the most important, raising awareness about threatened and endangered plants and animals. As a planet, we currently face the issue of overexploiting our marine species. Through global mass consumption, human impact has not only generated pollution and destroyed coastal habitats but causes irreversible damage.
Threatened species – any species of plant or animal that are on the brink of being endangered
Endangered species – any species of plant or animal that is in danger of extinction
Extinct Species (in the wild) – plants and animals that no longer survive in the wild.
Extinct Species – plant and animal species that have died out
Many extinct species in the wild may live in zoos, botanical gardens, or even in our own back yards. Two extinct species in the wild that survive elsewhere include the blue-tailed skink and the rhododendron kanehirai. Another currently survives because of its popularity. The butterfly splitfin, While the butterfly splitfin is formally listed as extinct in the wild, a small population still exists in Mexico. Also known as butterfly goodeids (Ameca splendens), the live-bearing fish currently maintain their population in habitats in home aquariums.
Causes of Extinction
While extinction naturally occurs on Earth, humans involvement accelerates extinction rates. Some of the causes of extinction include:
habitat loss – over development, expansion of urban areas and deforestation contribute to this cause
climate change – over-reliance on fossil fuels, deforestation, and other factors contribute to this cause
invasive species – plants, animals, and organisms introduced to a non-native habitat that alter or destroy biodiversity and ultimately lead to the extinction of many species
overfishing and hunting – the demand for more food or materials by a population than an ecosystem can sustain
World Wildlife Day creates opportunities to highlight the solutions we’ve built for a more sustainable future. It’s also our chance to focus on the accomplishments of countless individuals who devote their lives bringing our vision of a healthy planet to fruition.
HOW TO CELEBRATE #WorldWildlifeDay

ZERO DISCRIMINATION DAY
ZERO DISCRIMINATION DAY
Every year on March 1st, Zero Discrimination Day celebrates the right of everyone to live their life with dignity, including living a full and productive life. The day also highlights inclusion, compassion, and becoming a movement for change to end all forms of discrimination.
When someone is treated differently based on their age, race, religion, social status, or gender it’s called discrimination. Sadly, people with sickness and disabilities are also discriminated against. Even in the advanced civilization in which we live, discrimination is still a huge issue. This is largely due to the fact that it is human nature to categorize people.
In most cases, discrimination is a learned behavior. Discrimination also occurs when there is a lack of understanding. Another reason people discriminate is that they are insecure about themselves. Discriminating against another human being allows them to feel more powerful. Pride is another primary reason that humans discriminate against one another.

INTERNATIONAL CHEETAH DAY
INTERNATIONAL CHEETAH DAY
Every year on December 4th, International Cheetah Day encourages people worldwide to help this animal win the race against extinction.
The cheetah is well-known as the fastest animal on earth. This amazing animal can reach a top speed of 70 mph in just three seconds! At top speed, their stride spans 21 feet. The cheetah is a big, slender cat with long legs. Its short fur is yellowish-tan and covered in thousands of black spots. Most cheetahs have between 2,000 and 3,000 spots, which helps to camouflage themselves. The animal’s name comes from the Hindi word, “Chita,” which means “spotted one.” These big cats weigh anywhere from 46 to 158 pounds.
Where can I find more International Days?
Cheetahs live on the open grasslands of Sub-Sahara Africa. They are carnivores that feast mainly on small antelopes and wildebeest calves. They sometimes eat smaller animals, such as rabbits and birds. Female cheetahs live by themselves. Male cheetahs, on the other hand, live with a small group of brothers called coalitions.
Cheetahs are the most endangered big cat in Africa. As of 2020, scientists believe less than 8,000 cheetahs are living in the wild. This is a 50 percent decline in the last four decades. In the past, cheetahs were hunted for their fur. Today, one of their biggest threats is the loss of habitat due to increased human settlements and road construction. Some cheetahs are not able to reproduce, which threatens their survival even more.

INTERNATIONAL CHEETAH DAY HISTORY
American zoologist Dr. Laurie Marker founded the Cheetah Conservation Fund in 1991. In 2010, she designated December 4th as International Cheetah Day. She chose December 4th as it was the birthday of a cheetah named Khayam. Dr. Marker trained this cheetah for her first research project on teaching captive-born cheetahs to hunt. When she reintroduced Khayam to the wild, she realized how endangered the cheetahs were becoming.
