Prohibition Remembrance Day is on January 16 and remembers a time in American history when making, selling, and drinking alcohol was illegal. This period, known as Prohibition, started in 1920 and ended in 1933. People remember this day to understand why the law was made and how it affected everyone. It teaches us about important choices people made in the past and how those choices changed the country. The day helps us learn from history about making fair laws and what happens when rules don't fit with how people live their lives.
