When was the bill signed that established Mother's Day in the US?
U.S. House Joint Resolution 263 was signed into law by President Woodrow Wilson on May 8, 1914. The resolution designated the second Sunday in each May as "Mother's Day, and for other purposes." President Wilson followed up with a public proclamation the next day, calling upon Government officials to "display the United States flag on all Government buildings, and the people of the United States to display the flag at their homes or other suitable places on the second Sunday in May, as a public expression of love and reverence for the mothers of our country." The resolution had been introduced in May of 1914 as a joint resolution by Representative Heflin of Alabama and Senator Sheppard of Texas, at the request of its longtime advocate, Anna Jarvis. Anna had been promoting an official day of commemoration for mothers since 1905, and an earlier Mother's Day bill was defeated in the U.S. Senate in 1908.
