During “Prohibition” the US Government prohibited ALCOHOL! Per the Constitution Museum website (in Philly–I want to go; never heard of it), The 18th Amendment to the Constitution Passed by Congress December 18, 1917. Ratified January 16, 1919. Section one of the 18th Amendment “After one year from the ratification of this article the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors within, the importation thereof into, or the exportation thereof from the United States and all territory subject to the jurisdiction thereof for beverage purposes is hereby prohibited.”
Well that did not go over so well. It was Repealed by the 21st Amendment, December 5, 1933. In the meantime, many citizens were not happy about being told what to do, so they made their own alcohol. Well, our citizenry continues to balk at government mandates, such as STOP signs. Many motorists consider these items suggestions rather than requirements. Am I right?

Right after his assassInation in 1968, efforts began to create a Federal Holiday in his memory. It took until Reagan signed it into being in 1983 with first celebration of the holiday in 1986. Next year, the Monday Holiday will fall on his actual bday Jan 15.
