The History of Mother's Day
Woodrow Wilson proclaims the first Mother's Day holiday
On May 9, 1914, President Woodrow Wilson issues a
presidential proclamation that officially establishes
the first national Mother's Day holiday to celebrate
America's mothers.
The idea for a "Mother's Day" is credited by some to
Julia Ward Howe (1872) and by others to Anna Jarvis
(1907), who both suggested a holiday dedicated to a day
of peace. Many individual states celebrated Mother's Day
by 1911, but it was not until Wilson lobbied Congress in
1914 that Mother's Day was officially set on the second
Sunday of every May. In his first Mother's Day
proclamation, Wilson stated that the holiday offered a
chance to "publicly express our love and reverence for
the mothers of our country."
In 2002, President George W. Bush echoed Wilson's
sentiments by acknowledging mothers in his official
statement on Mother's Day in 2002. He commended foster
mothers as well as his own "fabulous mother" for their
"love and sacrifice." He also mentioned past presidents'
expressions of appreciation for their mothers. He quoted
John Quincy Adams as having said "all that I am my
mother made me" and Abraham Lincoln's sentiment that
"all that I am or hope to be I owe to my angel mother
?[my mother's prayers] have clung to me all my life."
Bush's own mother, Barbara, was a popular first lady
when the elder Bush served as president from 1989 to
1992.
