What is International Pardon Day?

International Pardon Day, observed on September 8th, marks the 1974 presidential proclamation by Gerald Ford that pardoned Richard Nixon for any crimes he may have committed during the Watergate scandal. The day invites people to set aside personal grudges and explore forgiveness as a deliberate act of strength rather than weakness.
