National Pencil Day marks March 30, 1858, when Hymen Lipman of Philadelphia patented the first pencil with an attached eraser — a design a court later invalidated for lacking novelty, but which changed every desk drawer forever. Doctors’ Day was first observed March 30, 1933, in Winder, Georgia, to honor the date in 1842 when Dr. Crawford Long performed the first operation using ether as an anesthetic. World Bipolar Day was chosen to coincide with the birthday of Vincent van Gogh, born March 30, 1853, whose posthumous bipolar diagnosis made him an emblem of the condition. Land Day is a Palestinian national commemoration of March 30, 1976, when Israeli Arab citizens staged a general strike to protest land confiscations, and six protesters were killed. An eraser, ether, a Dutch painter, and a civil rights march.
