The Martyrs of the Race Course: The Roots of Memorial Day
Happy Memorial Day! As we get ready to relax and spend time with loved ones, I think that its important for us to look at the origins of Memorial Day and the significant events that have shaped this solemn day of remembrance. One such event is the story of the Martyrs of the Race Course, an often-overlooked chapter in American history that played a pivotal role in the creation of Memorial Day.
