I.W.D. : INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY
The international women's day , is an important date celebrated on March 8 every year. This celebration started as a Socialist political event. The first and earliest women's day observance was celebrated in 1909 and it was organized by the Social Party of America in New York . At first , this celebration was considered only in Europe , but from 1920s, Soviet Union, and other comunists countries started to celebrate this date. In 1975 the UN ( United Nations ) began , with other members states , to recognize this holiday. But , today , this celebration does not have a political respect , in fact it became a simply occasion for men to express their love for women , as Mother's day or Valentine's day. Anyway we have to remember this date , because a lot of women fought for their civil rights and at the same time against the sexism and the sexual discrimination ; also today some of them are still fighting for their rights. There are a lot of way to celebrate this holiday, in fact , in Italy men give yellow mimosas to women , but this tradition is also followed in other countries.
HE FOR SHE
He for she is a solidarity campaign for gender equality initiated by UN women . Its goal is to engage men and boys to fight for gender equality and women's right. So, in this way, HE FOR SHE involve men and boys in a movement that, at first, was created only for women. This type of movement started on 20 September 2014 with the help of some importants people like Emma Watson.
THE BLACK HISTORY MONTH
Black History Month is an annual celebration in differents states like USA,UK and Canada. It is a famous celebration to remember important people and events in the History of the African Diaspora. At first it was not called Black History Month but Negro History Week. In 1970 it changed the name in Black History Month and the first celebration took place at Kent State University in 1970. In 1976 , Black History Month, was recognized by the USA governement and the president Gerald Ford extended this celebration in all US states. After, between 1987 and 1995, other countries as Canada and UK acceded to this celebration.
In this period a lot of pearsons fought against the racism by white people and against the racial segregation, when black people were maltreated and excluded by some places or activities. So, black people wanted the same rights of white people. Today, Martin Luther King, is considered the "head" of this movement.
MARTIN LUTHER KING
M
artin Luther King was one of the most important leader in the movement foe equality during the 19th century. He is best known for his important role in the fight for civil rights using nonviolent disobedience. He was born in Atlanta on 15 January 1929. He was already known from 1955 when he led a very strong protest against the racial segregation. Thanks to him, in 1956,the horrible bus segregation was removed. 1963 is an important year for Martin Luther King, because he did his famous civil right march in Washington DC and it was a succes in all the world. Here he made his wonderful speech "I HAVE A DREAM", his dream was theat one day brotherhood could reign around the world and his speech touched a lot of people in the world. In 1964 he received a Nobel Peace Prize and in the same year many kinds of discriminations were banned in USA.

THE HOLOCAUST
Today I decided to talk about the Holocaust (Shoah). It happened during the 2 World War when Hitler, the head of the Nazi Germany, built concentration camps where were killed approximately 6 milion jews but also homosexual, comunists, black people and disableds, it is considered one of the biggest genocide into the history. Today is 27 January and this day is dedicated to the victims of the Holocaust.
A lot of people talked about the Holocaust making some famous quotes, my favourite quote is Primo Levi's quote. He survived into the concentration camp of Auschwitz and from this horrible experience he said:
“I am constantly amazed by man's inhumanity to man.”
from this quote we can understand how Primo Levi is amazed by the horrible thing that a man can do to others men.
These pictures show two inhuman aspects of the concentrations camps: in the photo on the left we can see a group of children, they also were maltreated and killed with horribles ways like the "shower", in fact they were put in some shower where Nazi people used differents types of poisons and children died poisoned, unfortunately a lot of children died in concentration camps.
While,in the photo on the right we can understand how people lived inside the "hovels" in concentration camps; they were maltreated, malnourished and the hygienic conditions were very bad, people died also because they contracted very dangerous sicknesses.
This is a soundtrack of "La vita è bella", a movie who talks about the history of an Italian man and of his son in a concentration camp with Roberto Benigni

I think that the Holocaust is the worst event in the human history and we can understand how some people are so creazy to belive that it can exist a "pure race" and an inferior race. But I belive that exists one race, " the human race"and in this race must not exist differences that force a man to kill other man or an entire population.
