About American Bald Eagle Day
Politics , United States
Ends: Jun 20, 2025
DESCRIPTION:
The American Bald Eagle became part of the official symbol of the United States on June 20, 1782. The design was collaborative, with input from multiple individuals and committees. In 1776, the Continental Congress appointed a committee consisting of Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson to create a design for the Great Seal. They each proposed ideas and consulted with artists without success.
In 1782, a new committee was formed, including Charles Thomson, Secretary of the Continental Congress, and William Barton, an artist and heraldry expert. Thomson incorporated elements from the previous proposals and worked closely with Barton to finalize the design.
On June 20, 1782, the design for the Great Seal was approved by the Continental Congress. While no individual is credited with the ultimate design, the final artwork resulted from Franklin, Adams, Jefferson, Thomson, and Barton's contributions. Today it is one of the most recognized seals in history.
In celebration, Americans are encouraged to sponsor a bald eagle and help rehabilitate its natural habitat.
President Ronald Reagan decreed American Bald Eagle Day on January 28, 1982.
