Black Ribbon Day

23

Aug

Black Ribbon Day, on August 23, is a time to remember sad events in history. It marks when two big countries, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, made a secret agreement in 1939 that led to the start of World War II. This pact caused a lot of suffering and divided many countries in Europe. People use this day to think about those past events, hope for peace, and remember how wrong it is when countries hurt others. It's called "Black Ribbon Day" because black ribbons are a symbol of remembering sad events.

How to celebrate Black Ribbon Day?

To celebrate Black Ribbon Day, you can make a black ribbon and wear it to remember the day. You could talk with your family about peace and kindness, and why it's important to treat everyone fairly. You could draw or write about a peaceful world or how people should help each other. Another idea is watching a movie or reading a book about friendship and courage. You might also light a candle to honor those who worked for peace. If you like music, playing a calm song on an instrument would be nice. Sharing what you learn with friends is great too!
