This bias that is presented in my primary sources is that both sources are from the point of view
of people who support the creation of Earth Day and are on the side of helping the environment.
They speaking solely on the good things that came from the creation of the holiday and not
about the people who were against the holidays and its movement

In the

source my historical event is told from a social point of view and it is
represented in a manner in which they are promoting the holiday and talking about why it
matters. In the source by Lewis, Thomas T. My historical event is told from a political view and it
is represented in a way of how the holiday came to be in terms of what it took from the
government to create the holiday and publicize it
