Day of Enlightenment and the Etymology of Chauvinism

Mo examines the rebranding of May 25th as the "Day of Enlightenment" by the George Floyd Memorial Center, contrasting it with the original Memorial Day date. The etymology of "chauvinism" is traced back to Nicolas Chauvin, a fanatically loyal soldier in Napoleon’s army. The term originally described belligerent patriotism and jingoism before evolving into its modern association with male chauvinism.
