Sonora In 1882, Louise Smart Dodd came into the world. She was the daughter of William Jackson Smart, who had fought in the American Civil War. When she was 16, her mother passed away. She and her five brothers were raised by their dad. Sonora was in church one day listening to a speech about Mother’s Day when she realised that no one celebrates Father’s Day.
Sonora went through with her plan to respect fathers all over the world by celebrating Father’s Day on June 5, her father’s birthday. The moment was very important to the Americans. It didn’t take long for the party to spread all over the state of Washington, and then the rest of the country.
At the suggestion of President Lyndon Johnson, Father’s Day was moved to the third Sunday in June, starting in 1966. In 1972, President Richard Nixon signed an order making the third Sunday of June Father’s Day. As time went on, other countries also started to celebrate it.
