Reading Comprehension During the 1800s, a number of Americans organized local celebrations to honour mothers. However, it took a long time to gain support for a national celebration. The person who was responsible for doing this was Anna Jorvis. She began her effort in the early 1900s. She wrote thousands of letters to congressmen, city officials, teachers and newspaper publishers. She travelled around the country to gain support for her idea. In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson and Congress agreed that the second Sunday in May should be observed as Mother`s Day in America. On that day, children show their love and thanks to their mothers. Today, millions of Americans celebrate Mother`s Day in some way. More than 150 million Mother`s Day greeting cards are bought every year.
