National Black Barber Shop Appreciation Day is celebrated every year on May 1. It is a day to appreciate the importance of barber shops for black people. The 19th and 20th centuries were a dark period for the black people in America. The constant harassment, public humiliation, and discrimination made life a hardship for most black people in America. Slavery was abolished but the scars of chains are still visible and both sides remember how it used to be. Tensions were a common sight and it took some eminent personalities like Martin Luther King Jr. to fight against the discrimination and bring an end to the dark ages. Let us see how barber shops became important for black people during these hard days.
Healthy Kids Day
Healthy Kids Day is an annual event held that takes place right before the summer — the exact date on which the event is held is made public only a few months in advance. This year, it takes place on April 30. It’s held by the National Council of Young Men’s Christian Associations of the United States of America (the Y.M.C.A. of the U.S.A.) and celebrates the well-being of the kids in the community by encouraging activities related to sports, health, and arts and crafts. Most of the locations that promote it are open to the public on Healthy Kids Day, so everyone can participate.
National Supply Chain Day
National Supply Chain Day is celebrated on April 29 every year to mark the binding importance of the global supply chain in the everyday lives of people. National Supply Chain Day brings all stakeholders together to share recent developments in the field. Introduced in 2020 by a Georgia-based packaging outlet, this holiday aims to raise awareness about the way a supply chain affects all of us, and how we can be better partners and benefactors of the global supply chain management system.
