Answer:

Thanksgiving came to be an official holiday in 1863, declared by President Abraham Lincoln.

Explanation:

The Thanksgiving feast between Pilgrims and the Natives was not public till Bradford's diary was given to be published in 1789. When, a magazine editor Sarah Josepha Hale came across this tradition celebrated by Pilgrims and Natives, she wrote letters to five Presidents asking to declare Thanksgiving, a national holiday. It was President Abraham Lincoln who paid heed to this request and with an idea  of unte the country during his presidency, he declared the last Thursday of November as a Thanksgiving day and declared it a national holiday. The date, however, was changed to fourth Thursday of November by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1941, to avoid shifting of national holiday (as some year may have five Thursday's in November).

Answer:

Still Separate, Still Unequal depicts the fact that racism and segregation still plague America even after the Emancipation Proclamation and countless court rulings and amendments. Colored people tend to gravitate (or be forced into by society and the economy) towards each other (take Detroit as an example) and are therefore segregated, in an effort against racism. However, integrated schools bring children up in an environment where kids of every nationality are equals, and will eliminate racism as they grow into adulthood.
