National Zoo Celebrates 100 Years Of Easter Monday

A century-old tradition had a great turn out as families celebrated African-American Family Day at the National Zoo.

For more than 100 years, families have visited the zoo to celebrate Easter Monday. The zoo set up Easter-themed activities and games for kids. There were also live performances by an a cappella gospel quintet and a children's puppeteer.

A special showcase by the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture discussed their sustainable and green building design.

I have what may seem like a really stupid comment. The "National Zoo" celebrating African-American family day denotes only one nationality. What about Irish American, or Italian American or German American...get the point!! If united we stand,then why designate any ancestory at all. I just get so sick of it sometimes. Some people want their cake & eat it too.

I'm sorry, I missed the date that the White American day at the zoo will be held. Can you check on that for me?
