Lefties have our day.
Every August 13 we celebrate the International Day Lefty,
The World Day of Lefty takes place every year since 1976, and seeks to highlight the uniqueness and difference of 10% of the world population.
Why just one 13th of August?
As lefties have gone throughout history have been accompanied by superstitions and myths in most cultures, it was decided (with a touch of humor) that the best date should be a Friday the 13th.
For the occasion is founded, in 1975 the International Organization for Lefties in the city of Topeka, in the U.S. state of Kansas, and the August 13, 1976, just one year later, the organization opened a store, For the advertising boom that this event had declared August 13 as the International Day Lefty ..
By holding intend to break the silence of the lefties and help reduce the difficulties that left-handed people in a society predominantly right hand, like having to use tools designed for right and various situations of discrimination.
