In 1981, President Ronald Reagan issued a Presidential Proclamation that officially established the day as National Sisters&#8217; Day in recognition of the devotion and commitment of sisters to one another. The proclamation was made at the request of Sistah&#8217;s United for Education (SUFE). SUFE was founded by Joyce Diggs-Jackson, who wanted to improve educational opportunities for African American women and their families. In her speech at the first celebration on July 31st 1982 in Washington DC, she said: &#8220;Sisters have an important role to play in each other&#8217;s lives &#8211; they are there when things go well; they share our happiness and rejoice with us\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/news.ftcpublications.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/97082C1A-F501-45CA-B8E8-4A2FE48210C1-300x169.png\" alt=\"Sisters taking a selfie\" class=\"wp-image-1768\" width=\"579\" height=\"326\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.ftcpublications.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/97082C1A-F501-45CA-B8E8-4A2FE48210C1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/news.ftcpublications.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/97082C1A-F501-45CA-B8E8-4A2FE48210C1-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/news.ftcpublications.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/97082C1A-F501-45CA-B8E8-4A2FE48210C1-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/news.ftcpublications.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/97082C1A-F501-45CA-B8E8-4A2FE48210C1.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 579px) 100vw, 579px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Customs celebrated during this time vary from location to location.
