Memorial Day was started by former slaves on May, 1, 1865 in Charleston, SC to honor 257 dead Union Soldiers who had been buried in a mass grave in a Confederate prison camp. They dug up the bodies and worked for 2 weeks to give them a proper burial as gratitude for fighting for their freedom. They then held a parade of 10,000 people led by 2,800 Black children where they marched, sang and celebrated.
Thanks to all of the brave men and women in our nation's armed services

International Red Sneakers Day was established to honor Oakley Debbs, a young boy who tragically lost his life due to an allergic reaction to nuts.
His favorite shoes were red sneakers, which became a symbol for raising awareness about food allergies. The date was chosen because May is also Food Allergy Awareness Month, and 20 was Oakley’s football jersey number.
The day was founded by the Debbs family, who started the Red Sneakers for Oakley organization shortly after Oakley died in 2016. Their goal was to educate the public on the severity of food allergies and the importance of quick response to allergic reactions.
The organization emphasizes that education about food allergies is crucial for everyone, including allergists, hospitals, schools, and the general public.
The day has grown into a global movement. Participants around the world engage in activities and use social media to share their stories and promote awareness.
Schools, communities, and individuals participate by wearing red sneakers or red clothing and sharing vital information about food allergies. This initiative has helped spread knowledge and potentially save lives by highlighting the dangers of food allergies and the necessary precautions to take​.
