Sufjan Stevens - Casimir Pulaski Day
Happy Casimir Pulaski Day, Chicago!
Casimir Pulaski Day is a holiday observed in Illinois on the first Monday of every March to commemorate Casimir Pulaski (March 4, 1745 – October 11, 1779), a Revolutionary War cavalry officer born in Poland as Kazimierz Pułaski. He is known for his contributions to the U.S. military in the American Revolution by training its soldiers and cavalry.
The Chicago Public Library will be closed on Monday, March 7 in observance of Casimir Pulaski Day.
