The Role of Congress in Federal Holidays
Saturday, November 4, 2017
Why do we celebrate Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday in November? Why do we have the day off from work and school? For this workshop, we explored congressional history, the law-making process, holiday stories, primary resources and artistic imagery. We also made curriculum connections while learning about the unique history and development of Thanksgiving.
For information and resources related to the role of Congress in federal holidays, please email education@visitthecapitol.gov.
