March 21st marks a day dedicated to recognizing the incredible resilience and dedication of single parents: National Single Parent Day. While it may not be as widely celebrated as Mother's Day or Father's Day, its significance for the millions of single parents navigating the joys and challenges of raising children solo is undeniable.
A History of Strength and Recognition:
The roots of Single Parent Day can be traced back to 1984. Janice Moglen, a single parent herself, wrote an article advocating for a day to honor the unique struggles and triumphs of this population. Her efforts resonated with the organization Parents Without Partners, and together they began petitioning states to recognize the day. President Ronald Reagan officially declared March 21st as National Single Parent Day in 1984, coinciding with the founding date of Parents Without Partners.
