International Lefthanders Day

  • Peachcrest Trace HOA PO Box 831793 Stone Mountain GA 30083-3083 USA (map)

International Lefthanders Day, celebrated on August 13, offers a unique opportunity to experience the world from the perspective of the left-handed. This day highlights the creativity and distinctiveness of left-handed individuals, who make up about 10% of the population. Among the notable left-handers are influential leaders like Presidents Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama; iconic musicians like Paul McCartney and Jimi Hendrix; and beloved cultural figures such as Oprah Winfrey, Julia Roberts, and Lady Gaga. In the sports realm, legendary "southpaws" Babe Ruth and Sandy Koufax made their mark in baseball. Initiated by Dean R. Campbell in 1976, International Lefthanders Day celebrates the contributions and unique experiences of left-handers, encouraging everyone to embrace their differences. Whether you're left-handed or just curious, this day invites us all to recognize and appreciate the diversity that left-handers bring to the world. So, raise a left-handed toast to their creativity, innovation, and perseverance!
