The Events That Took Place on April 24, 1997

Many special events occurred on the exact date of my April 24th birthday, and that week, month, year. These events ranged from enormous scientific progress that enabled the whole animal to be cloned to the tragic death of the princess. Some of these events are trivial, but other events have a deeper meaning. In this article I will present examples of some wonderful events that occurred when I was born. My mother does not remember much of what happened in the world at birth.

On April 22, 1970, the first Earth Day celebration was held on a wonderful spring day, the event was a great success. Millions of Americans traveled along coastal coasts and participated in parades, concerts, lectures and gatherings to protect the natural heritage of the United States and the world. Green months and environmental consciousness were integrated into private and public institutions around the world during the first Earth Day and several months and years following the creation of EPA. All groundbreaking environmental laws such as water purification law, federal agricultural chemical law, air purification law, endangered species law, national landscape law, etc. are all signed by law. These federal legislation are working with many other state and local programs for environmental protection.

On April 9, 1939, 75 years ago, one of the most important music events of the 20th century where Hitler's armies advanced to Europe and the Great Depression caused losses in the United States was held at the National Mall in Washington. There were only two performers, a singer and a pianist who created music and social history. At the age of 42, Marian Anderson was famous for Europe and America, but she never encountered such a big crowd. There were 75,000 people in the audience for that day, she was scared. Later she wrote: "I can not escape from this situation, and if I have something to offer, I must do it now."

On March 24, I participated in March For Our Lives which was held in San Francisco. Hundreds of events were held on that day to protest the violence of guns at American schools. It is estimated that as many as 2 million people are participating in the world. This is one of the biggest protests in American history. Especially after Donald Trump has been elected, I felt irony and tired from the many protests I participated in, but I feel that it is very important to record this opportunity. I joined March For Our Lives to mainly shoot the speakers on the stage. The lineup alternates students and adults of all ages including several politicians and celebrities. Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School graduates and current students, as well as survivors of the Colombane high school massacre are one of the moderators.
