Listen "Riya's Ramblings: Ep 32 - Thanksgiving's crazy and controversial history"
Episode Synopsis
This week is the celebration of Thanksgiving in the US.
Have you ever wondered how Thanksgiving became a holiday? And why is it on the 4th Thursday of November?
In this episode, I talk about the crazy controversial history of Thanksgiving. I discuss how it started, why it started, and all the problems that came along with it. I mention many important names and people, and how they contributed to the start of the holiday.
Fun fact: Sarah Josepha Hale had been trying to make Thanksgiving a holiday for 40 years! That is perseverance! She is better known as the writer of “Mary Had A Little Lamb”. Pretty cool huh?!
I also learn a new word; Controversial- When there is mixed feelings about a thing - in this case, Thanksgiving.
I hope you enjoy this episode and walk away with some new information!
