Beginning in the late 19th century, as the trade union and labor movements grew, trade unionists proposed that a day be set
aside to celebrate labor. "Labor Day" was promoted by the
Central Labor Union and the Knights of Labor, which organized
the first parade in New York City.

By the time it became an official federal holiday in 1894, thirty
states in the U.S. officially celebrated Labor Day.

P. J. McGuire, Vice President of the American
Federation of Labor, is frequently credited as
the father of Labor Day in the U.S.

career started in the 1960s. He is 80 today.

U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Guion S. Bluford became
the first African American to travel into space when the space
shuttle Challenger lifted off on its third mission.

It was the first night launch of a space shuttle, and many people
stayed up late to watch the spacecraft roar up from Cape
Canaveral, Florida, at 2:32 a.m.

The Challenger spent six days in space, during which time
Bluford and his crew members launched a communications
satellite for the government of India, made contact with an
errant communications satellite, conducted various scientific experiments, and tested the shuttle’s robotic arm.
