How old is Morris Day? This question has been contemplated by many people during the week leading up to the holiday. The answer is complicated. We’ll discuss the answer in this article and then do some more digging to find out why exactly Morris Day is celebrated on the second Monday of May each year.
Morris Day was first calling Morris Day – after a minister by the name of Morris Loan. On this day in 1911, he addressed a large group of worshipers gathered to celebrate what would later be known as the 150th anniversary of the publication of George Eliot’s “Elements of Medicinal Philosophy,” a book that had been so influential in changing the course of education in England and the United States. According to records, the crowd asked for an explanation of what the celebration meant. The minister explained that it reflected the day when Samuel Adams, the leader of the United States, declared, “There has never been a better time to write.” It was this declaration, which led to the present celebration of Morris Day.
The second aspect of the question posed is about Morris Day itself – How old is Morris Day? The trivia answer to this question is that Morris Day is a non-denominational holiday that was created in honor of Samuel Adams, who is considered the father of the United States. At the time of its creation, Morris Day was not observed in any particular way in the United States, but on some level it was believed to be a commemoration of the revolution in France that occurred just prior to the US Declaration of Independence. On this day, many Americans were in attendance at the reading of passages from the U.S. Declaration of Independence, including the phrase” Our Country’s Constitution is Written on Paper”.
An interesting bit of trivia – is that the very year in which George Washington was born, it was December 17th, yet his birthday was never mentioned nor was the fact that he was a part of the American Revolution ever brought up. It is believed that perhaps the reason for this was so that Americans would not have a connection to the Revolutionary War, since it was a war that happened in the middle of the north American continent. Some historians have suggested that Washington was actually born on Christmas Day. Regardless of how or when he was born, as it was close to the end of the winter season, there was no holiday recognized by the government to celebrate his birth. It was not until December of the following year that the first official celebration of his birth was held.
The third aspect of the trivia question – is as to how old is Morris Day. Although Morris Day has long been celebrated in the United States, it was not officially proclaimed a national holiday until December 3rd, 1971. Prior to that time there were only federal holidays celebrated in the United States, and not states. Because of this lack of official recognition of the date, there was no reason to mark the event and the reason why it was never officially proclaimed a holiday was because the reason why Morris Day was created was because of the nation’s lack of understanding concerning African Americans.
As you can see from the above questions – there is more than one answer to the question of how old is Morris Day. There is no definitive answer, as it depends upon who you ask. In some circles the answer to the question of when is Morris Day will be determined by how many of the twelve apostles were born during the Christian era.
However, some people believe that the true answer to the question of when is Morris Day may be determined by how early in the 20th century did American slavery start?
