Well, I thought it was interesting to learn today in 1892 President Harrison urged citizens to participate and celebrate the 400th anniversary of Columbus' voyage. That's not the interesting part.
Here's what is: it was during this event the Pledge of Allegiance (written by Francis Bellamy) was recited publicly for the first time. I had no idea.
So, there it is. And in case you didn't know, today is Columbus Day.
