The Story Behind the Pink Ribbon 
October means pink T-shirts, pink hats and pink ribbons. You all know that a pink ribbon symbolizes breast cancer awareness.
But have you ever wondered how pink became the official color of breast cancer awareness and how the pink ribbon became the symbol of the disease that affects one in eight women? Ribbons have long been used to show support and awareness. Remember the song "Tie a Yellow Ribbon?" That song helped inspire the wife of a hostage held in Iran from 1979 to 1981 to use the yellow ribbon to show support for her husband and other hostages. More than a decade later, AIDS activists introduced a looped red ribbon to represent those affected by the illness. The first breast cancer awareness ribbon wasn't in fact pink. It was peach, designed by a breast cancer survivor named Charlotte Hayley. Hayley attached the ribbons to cards urging more funding for cancer prevention. She distributed thousands of the cards and ribbons, handing them out at local supermarkets and writing to prominent women. Susan G. Komen for the Cure® has used the color pink since it was founded in 1982. The first Komen Race for the Cure® logo design was an abstract female runner outlined with a pink ribbon and was used during the mid-1980s through early 1990s. In 1990, breast cancer survivors wore buttons that were printed in black and white at a breast cancer run. Later that year, the survivor program developed, and Komen chose pink as the designated color to promote awareness and its programs. They gave out pink visors to survivors. In 1991, pink ribbons were distributed to all breast cancer survivors and participants of the Komen New York City Race for the Cure®. The pink ribbon really took off in 1992 when the editor-in-chief of Self magazine created a ribbon for the magazine's second annual Breast Cancer Awareness Month issue. She enlisted cosmetics giant Estée Lauder to distribute them in New York City stores. That's considered the birth of the pink ribbon.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY - October 12Columbus reaches the New World 1492 After sailing across the Atlantic Ocean, Italian explorer Christopher Columbus sights a Bahamian island, believing he has reached East Asia. His expedition went ashore the same day and claimed the land for Isabella and Ferdinand of Spain, who sponsored his attempt to find a western ocean route to China, India, and the fabled gold and spice islands of Asia. Columbus was born in Genoa, Italy, in 1451. Little is known of his early life, but he worked as a seaman and then a maritime entrepreneur. He became obsessed with the possibility of pioneering a western sea route to Cathay (China), India, and the gold and spice islands of Asia. At the time, Europeans knew no direct sea route to southern Asia, and the route via Egypt and the Red Sea was closed to Europeans by the Ottoman Empire, as were many land routes. Contrary to popular legend, educated Europeans of Columbus’ day did believe that the world was round, as argued by St. Isidore in the seventh century. However, Columbus, and most others, underestimated the world’s size, calculating that East Asia must lie approximately where North America sits on the globe (they did not yet know that the Pacific Ocean existed). With only the Atlantic Ocean, he thought, lying between Europe and the riches of the East Indies, Columbus met with King John II of Portugal and tried to persuade him to back his “Enterprise of the Indies,” as he called his plan. He was rebuffed and went to Spain, where he was also rejected at least twice by King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella. However, after the Spanish conquest of the Moorish kingdom of Granada in January 1492, the Spanish monarchs, flush with victory, agreed to support his voyage. In Case You Missed It......
