Barack Obama Day

[1] Perry County, Alabama, has celebrated the second Monday of November as Barack Obama Day since 2009.

[3] Twitter users unofficially celebrated Obama Day on June 14, 2020, posting pictures of the former president, with some using the hashtag #AllBirthdaysMatter in response to All Lives Matter.

[4] The Perry County Commission approved a resolution sponsored by commissioner Albert Turner, Jr. to establish Barack Obama Day by a vote four-to-one in 2008.

It was rejected by the House in March 2017, citing expense and the lack of a holiday for other presidents from Illinois such as Ronald Reagan.

[7] The bill amended the State Commemorative Dates Act to include a new section: Barack Obama Day.
