6
00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:47.200
sometime after that. Peanut butter cookies. They're pretty easy to make if you're

7
00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:50.439
so inclined, if you're not allergic

20
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:13.360
twelfth, seventeen ninety two. British
explorer George Vancouver. He landed in today

21
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:17.120
what is Vancouver, British Columbia,
Canada. Eighteen fifty nine in Nevada,

22
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:21.840
the comstock load was discovered. Now
it was the first major silver discovery in

23
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:24.759
the United States eighteen eighty five.
Or in France they were holding a murder

24
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:28.879
trial. Well, the buildings are
roof, collapsed and killed all thirty people

25
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:30.759
inside. Yeah, I never find
out if the guy was guilty or note.

26
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:36.360
Now, After Spain surrendered to the
United States falling the Spanish American War

27
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:39.759
in eighteen ninety eight, the United
States took control over Cuba. Then in

28
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:45.039
nineteen oh one, in order for
the United States to pull out a Cuba

29
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:47.599
and leave them alone, they told
Cuba they had to have a constitutional convention

30
00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:51.039
that they were going to show how
they were going to rule their country.

31
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:54.199
So Cuba they held that. Today
they adopted the constitution the United States wrote

32
00:02:54.240 --> 00:03:00.000
for him. Nineteen thirty one,
Gangsta al Capone. He was charged.

33
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:05.960
We had five thousand counts of prohibition
violation and perjuring, plus twenty two counts

34
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:10.400
of taxavision. They actually got him
on the tax division. In nineteen sixty

35
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:14.400
four, in South Africa and Nelson
Mandela, he was sentenced to life in

36
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:19.159
prison for his part in a conspiracy
plot to overthrow the South African government.

37
00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:22.960
Served twenty seven years, got out
in nineteen ninety. Now, if you

38
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:29.199
don't like peanut butter cookies, today
is also National Loving Day. Richard Loving.

39
00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:31.800
He was a white guy. Now
Mildred she was black. They became

40
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:35.759
friends when they were little kids.
Now over the years they fell in love.

41
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:38.439
Then in nineteen fifty eight, on
Mildren's eighteenth birthday, they got married.

42
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:42.879
Now, shortly after they were married, they got arrested. Seeing Virginia,

43
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:46.120
interracial marriage was illegal. Yeah,
so they played guilty and agreed to

44
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:49.719
move from Virginia so they didn't have
to do a year in jail. They

45
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:52.400
went up to Washington d C.
He had three kids. Now, the

46
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:54.080
whole time they were up there,
they were actually fighting Virginia in court.

47
00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:59.439
Finally, in nineteen sixty seven,
the United Supreme Court ruled on the Loving

48
00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:01.759
side. They said you could not
prohibit people from marrying because they were a

49
00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:05.840
different race. That was unconstitutional at
that time. In nineteen sixty seven,

50
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:11.199
sixteen states had it illegal to have
interractional marriages. That that was no longer

51
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:15.680
valid in Loving versus Virginia. Hip
ended all that kind of stuff. So

52
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:18.600
Happy Loving Day. In twenty fifteen, over in Zimbabwe, they got rid

53
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:23.519
of their own currency. Yeah,
they weren't gonna use the Zimbabwe dollar anymore.

54
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:26.120
They said it was worthless. So
if you wanted to exchange it,

55
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:31.120
they'd give you one American dollar for
thirty five five drillion zimway in dollars.

56
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:38.319
Coat, coat, goat shage.
