The Mozambican National Women’s Day is annually observed on April 7. It marks the anniversary of Josina Muthemba Machel’s death in 1971 — the activist who fought for the emancipation of African women, specifically Mozambican women, in the liberation struggle.
The holiday celebrates the rights of women in Mozambique and the struggle they’ve gone through to gain them.

National Twinkie Day
National Twinkie Day is celebrated all across America on April 6, but what exactly is a Twinkie? Marketed as the “Golden Sponge Cake with Creamy Filling,” Twinkies are a beloved snack among children and adults alike. They were invented by James Alexander Dewar, a baker for the Continental Baking Company in Schiller Park, Illinois. Like many inventions, Twinkies were a product of necessity, for a strawberry shortage led Dewar to fill his strawberry shortcakes with banana cream instead, which later became their own treat — Twinkies, a wonderfully delicious invention!
New Beer’s Eve
New Beer’s Eve is celebrated every year on April 6 to mark the end of the prohibition era in America. President Franklin Roosevelt called an end to the prohibition and declared that there will be no restrictions on drinking, purchasing, serving, and brewing alcohol. On this day, people headed back to bars and taverns to enjoy a tall drink of their favorite alcohol. Today, of course, it is impossible to imagine a time when the consumption of alcohol was prohibited, but thankfully since 1933, America has not imposed a prohibition. With legal drinking age restrictions and moderation in consumption, drinking can be a very enjoyable activity.
