Anniversaries, Holidays, and Observances for February 11, 2021
Many days there are far too many anniversaries, holidays, and observances to post about individually on social media, so in an effort to have more of them available, LLPHP is going to experiment with posting them daily. If there are other items you feel should be included, please email contact@llphp.org and share!
- International Day of Women & Girls in Science
- National Inventor’s Day
- National Giving Hearts Day
- National Shut-In Visitation Day
- 1790 Society of Friends petitions Congress for abolition of slavery
- 1794 First session of the US Senate that was open to the public
- 1903 US Congress adopts the Expedition Act, which authorizes the Attorney General to ‘expedite’ anti-trust cases through the courts, reflecting growing popular support for President Theodore Roosevelt’s “trust busting” campaign
- 1916 Emma Goldman arrested for lecturing on birth control
