Slovenians in Prekmurje Incorporated into the Mother Nation Day

Posted on by Haroon Mohsin

Slovenians in Prekmurje Incorporated into the Mother Nation Day is celebrated annually on August 17. Prekmurje is a region of Slovenia located between the Mur River in Slovenia and the Raba Valley in the westernmost part of Hungary, which retains certain specific linguistic, cultural, and religious features that distinguish it from other Slovenian traditional regions.

This is a public holiday in the Republic of Slovenia but not a non-working day. On this day, the Slovenes gather in Prekmurje to celebrate their liberation from Hungarian supremacy and becoming part of their native country, Slovenia.

Hip Hop Day

Hip-Hop Day is celebrated every August 11 in the United States. Hip-hop has progressed from a street corner to one of the most important musical genres and cultural impacts in the world. Hip-hop, like any other style of music, has its roots in other forms, and its evolution was shaped by many different artists — but there’s a case to be made that it came to life precisely on August 11, 1973, on a birthday celebration in the recreation room of an apartment building in New York City’s west Bronx by D.J. Kool Herc, hip-hop’s founding father.

National Challenged Champions and Heroes Awareness Day

Posted on by Tamkeen Kiani

National Challenged Champions and Heroes Awareness Day is observed on July 29 every year in the United States. It is a day to honor and recognize the differently-abled and their caregivers. It is a day to put into practice the idea of treating others the way you want to be treated.

The idea of this day is to highlight these Champions’ abilities and not their disabilities. Focus on what is positive is the best we can do for these people.
