Did you know that in 2020, the IRS processed nearly 150 million individual income tax returns? This staggering figure not only highlights the scope of Tax Day but also underscores its integral role in the American economy and society. Tax Day, which falls on April 15 (or the next business day if it falls on a weekend or holiday), is a date that resonates deeply within the fabric of American life. But why does this day command so much attention, and what is its historical significance? The Origins of Tax Day The roots of Tax Day can be traced back to the early 20th century. While the U.S. government had collected taxes in various forms since its inception, the modern income tax system began with the 16th Amendment in 1913. This amendment authorized Congress to levy an income tax without apportioning it among the states based on population.

April 15 is a date that has witnessed some of the most significant events in history, spanning various domains such as politics, arts, disasters, and advancements. Let's turn to 1947, when Jackie Robinson made history by breaking the color barrier in Major League Baseball. On this day, Robinson played his first game for the Brooklyn Dodgers, forever changing the landscape of American sports and society. His courage and talent paved the way for future generations of athletes of color, and he became an icon of the civil rights movement. Robinson's legacy extends beyond baseball, as he exemplified the struggle for equality and social justice, inspiring countless individuals to fight against racial discrimination. In 1961, another pivotal moment occurred when the United States launched its first manned space mission, the Mercury-Redstone 3, also known as Freedom 7. Astronaut Alan Shepard became the first American in space, albeit for a brief 15-minute flight, but it was a crucial step

EAST ST. LOUIS - Multiple fire departments responded early Tuesday, April 15, 2025, to a large fire at a pallet recycling company in East St. Louis. The call came in at 1:30 a.m. for a fire at Eco Recycling Solutions, located at 225 S. Main St. in East St. Louis.
