  • The birthday of William McKinley, the late U.S. President, was observed across the United States for the first time since his assassination in September.[31] For several decades, McKinley's birthday, though not a holiday, would be observed as "Carnation Day"[32] because the 25th U.S. President had traditionally worn a red carnation in his lapel.[33] Although the tradition would fade after McKinley's 100th birthday in 1943,[34] the event was informally observed as late as 2017.[35]
