6 declare:
make known clearly or formally.宣布，宣告，公告，鄭重地說。
announce:
make known.宣布。
state:
express in words, esp carefully, fully and clearly. 說，陳述(尤指仔細、詳盡且明確地)

比較難分辨的是declare&announce，從字典來看，declare應該是較為正式的用法，而announce較重於「公布出來」這件事上。維基很直接的用make public解釋。
至於state則著重在陳述而非公開。

8 Julia Ward Howe was inspired to write "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" after she and her husband visited Washington, D. C., and met Abraham Lincoln at the White House in November 1861. During the trip, her friend James Freeman Clarke suggested she write new words to the song "John Brown's Body", which she did on November 19.[13] The song was set to William Steffe's already-existing music and Howe's version was first published in the Atlantic Monthly in February 1862. It quickly became one of the most popular songs of the Union during the American Civil War.

15 At the encouragement of her mother, Anna Jarvis attended college and was awarded a diploma for the completion of two years of course work at the Augusta Female Seminary in Staunton, Virginia, today known as Mary Baldwin College
16 Its whiteness is to symbolize the truth, purity and broad-charity of mother love; its fragrance, her memory, and her prayers. The carnation does not drop its petals, but hugs them to its heart as it dies, and so, too, mothers hug their children to their hearts, their mother love never dying. When I selected this flower, I was remembering my mother’s bed of white pinks.

—Anna Jarvis

After the war, the country remained harshy divided. Jarvis saw an opportunity for reconciliation in motherhood; she reasoned that women on both sides had lost their children and could empathize with other mothers in the same situation. Jarvis established Mother's Friendship Day, where mothers would come together for picnics and other events. The events focused on mourning fallen soldiers, reconciliation, and preventing violent conflicts in the future. Later, Jarvis' daughter Anna would again transform Mother's Day.
20 When Ann Reeves Jarvis passed away in 1905, her daughter Anna Jarvis (1864-1948) decided to follow in her mother's footsteps. Though Jarvis never married or had children of her own, she passionately campaigned for Mother's Day. Jarvis announced her

21 Initially Jarvis worked hand in hand with various retailers, including the floral industry, to gain recognition for the holiday. By 1911, most cities and states already recognized Mother's Day. But once the holiday attained official status, it quickly became a commercial cash cow. Disgusted with what the holiday had become, Jarvis incorporated herself as the Mother's Day International Association. She organized boycotts and filed lawsuits. Her new goal was to undo all her previous work and get Mother's Day removed from the national calendar.
