The first #MemorialDay observances were organized by women and African Americans to commemorate fallen Civil War soldiers.
@スミソニアン博物館 shared the story of those first days of remembrance, writing: “During the war, some women began decorating soldiers' graves with flowers, a custom which may have been borrowed from German Catholic observances on All Saints' Day.
Before an official #MemorialDay, there was Decoration Day. Dozens of cities in the North and South claim to have been the birthplace of the Decoration Day tradition, but it had become an annual spring tradition in many cities by the end of the war.
On May 1, 1865, freedman's relief groups and formerly enslaved people in Charleston, South Carolina, organized to decorate the graves of the 257 Union prisoners who died at a Confederate prison. Thousands gathered to sing hymns, set flowers, and give readings in honor of the soldiers’ sacrifice.” To learn more, click the link in our bio.
