<p>The first presidential proclamation honoring Mother’s Day was issued by President Woodrow Wilson in 1914. Each successive year, presidents followed Wilson’s example and issued a Mother’s Day proclamation. But in 1935, Franklin Roosevelt broke with tradition. He believed that Mother’s Day was so deeply ingrained in the American psyche that an annual presidential proclamation was an unnecessary exercise. So President Roosevelt ignored a Senate resolution calling for a proclamation and instead issued a statement from the White House urging that tributes to American mothers “come simply and spontaneously from our hearts.”</p> <p><a href="https://fdrlibrary.wordpress.com/tag/mothers-day/">https://fdrlibrary.wordpress.com/tag/mothers-day/</a></p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
