00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:13.679
Hello everybody. I am Jeff and
welcome to history. In fact, it's

2
00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:16.800

00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:31.640
I'm the onion, Onion, Onionion, Onion. It is National Onion Day.

4
00:00:31.719 --> 00:00:35.240
Now. Onions. They are the
world's oldest cultivated vegetable. They've been

5
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:39.359
fared for over five thousand years,
start out in Central Asia before spreading across

6
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:43.079
the rest of the world. Now
they're really really good for you. Recent

7
00:00:43.159 --> 00:00:47.880
studies show that onions they help your
body fight colon ambreast cancer, and they

8
00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:51.280
help with heart disease and diabetes.
I think they taste good, especially if

9
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:54.719
they're cooked. Now, the best
way to cut onions without tearing up freeze

10
00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:58.799
the first I know onions really aren't
something to celebrate. So there are other

11
00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:02.359
national days today that are worth celebrating. You got National Bomb Pops Day,

12
00:01:02.679 --> 00:01:07.840
ice Cream Cake Day, Dingo Day, Sunglasses Day, and National Women's fly

13
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:10.560

sight in her hearing when she was nineteen

58
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:45.399
months old. She had gotten an
unknown illness that left her death and blind.

59
00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:47.759
Now when she was seven years old

00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:53.279
Sullivan to be her personable teacher.
They ended up being lifelong friends. Helen

00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:56.319
she became the first death and blind

67
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:21.439

70
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:32.000

00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:34.759
she was twenty one, yeah,
she retired from acting, got married,

72
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:39.399

died in nineteen twenty two, it was

73
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:43.160
time she moved East ended up hitting
big on Broadway. She even worked as

74
00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:46.680
a stage director just wasn't done by

00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:48.800
a big, big shot in the
whole theater world. She died from a

76
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:53.160
heart attack in nineteen forty six of
fifty eight years old. So all her

77
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:56.120
friends and colleagues, they got together. They wanted to honor, you know,

78
00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:58.839

set for the theater seen out there

79

Perry Awards for Excellence in Broadway. Now

80
00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:05.839
