Question 2

My favorite history fact related to today, March 3, 2021, is that in 1931, “The Star-Spangled Banner” turned out to be the United States’ national anthem as President Herbert Hoover signed a congressional resolution. The structure of the anthem highlights this main idea of glory. Every stanza finishes with the phrase: “O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.” This highlights the idea of bravery and freedom in the poem.

One of the most important thing that President Joe Biden has done today is that he has called Texas government Greg Abbott’s decision to end his state’s mask obligation as Neanderthal thinking echoing frustration from top Coronavirus response officials in his government that case statistics are not low enough to reduce restrictions before more Americans are vaccinated. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott had on Tuesday announced the end of mask mandate and permitting business to operate devoid of restrictions.
