Hello everyone, I am Jeff and welcome to history and

2
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:15.000
Factoids about today, presented by Cool Media.

3
00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:16.359
This is May the thirty first.

4
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:32.280
Smile see you ay right? Shit, shut up through the way.

5
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:31.359
You SMI.

6
00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:39.039
Really see you smile. It is National Smile Day.

7
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:40.799
Now.

8
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:44.280
Of course, today is brought to you by Dennist the

9
00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:48.039
whole Dental Association. But smiling is cool now. There are

10
00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:50.920
two types of smiles, the genuine and the pity smile.

11
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:54.240
Our brains can detect if the smiless, fake or nut. Now,

12
00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:56.759
smiling and photographs, they nearly didn't start until about the

13
00:00:56.799 --> 00:00:59.479
nineteen fifties. Say, before then, people really didn't have good

14
00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:02.039
teeth plus to pose for a picture. It took a while,

15
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:03.520
and it's kind of hard to hold a smile for

16
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:07.159
that long. So celebrate today by smiling. You know, people

17
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:09.400
might think you're drunk, but just walk around and smiling

18
00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:10.400
and everybody today.

19
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:11.920
You never know, a.

20
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:15.480
Genuine smile just might make somebody else's day. And remember

21
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:19.120
to make an appointment to see your dentist. All right,

Nineteen seventy six, the band of Who, they were doing

45
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:40.199
a concert in London, England, set the record for the

46
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:42.199
loudest concert of all time. It was one hundred and

47
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:45.159
twenty decibels at fifty meters. Now, the Guinness Book of

48
00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:47.520
World Record, they got a little worried about that one. Yeah,

49
00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:50.039
they were worried about hearing damage. So they stopped that

50
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:51.719
record right there and then there, and they will not

51
00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:54.759
acknowledge anyone who tries to break it. All right, says

52
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:57.000
going on in the world on May the thirty first,

53
00:02:57.360 --> 00:02:59.919
eighteen sixty eight, and he guesses were the first one.

54
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:04.919
Oriol Day Parade was held Ironton, Ohio in eighteen seventy E. J.

55
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:05.400
Just Schmidt.

56
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:08.840
He got a patent for his invention that changed the world. Yeah,

57
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:11.639
it was asphalt pavement. Now, two months from then they

58
00:03:11.639 --> 00:03:13.639
paid the very first street with it. It was Williams

59
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:16.319
Straight in Newark, New Jersey. Three months later they had

60
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:18.520
to fill in the first bothole. Now I'm just joking.

61
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:22.319
It was probably four months. Eighteen ninety the Olm Germany.

62
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:24.960
In Olm, Germany, they completed the building the Old Minster.

63
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:27.080
It is the tallest church in the world that has

64
00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:30.240
a steeple. Still is five hundred and thirty feet high. Now,

65
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:32.680
I said they completed it in eighteen ninety, right, Okay,

66
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:36.759
they started building it in thirteen seventy seven. Nineteen nineteen,

67
00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:39.719
businessman Conrad Hilton. He went to buy a bank, but

68
00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:42.240
the deal fell throughout the last minute. Since he has

69
00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:43.680
some money with them, you and head and bought the

70
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:46.639
Mobli Hotel in Cisco, Texas. That's the beginning of the

71
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:51.520
Hilton Hotel franchise. Nineteen twenty one, the Tulsa Race Rides

72
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:54.000
broke out. It is the worst active race violence in

73
00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:54.840
American history.

74
00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:55.360
Now.

75
00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:58.719
The black community of Greenwood is in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It

76
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:01.439
was the wealthiest black community in the United States. A

77
00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:04.159
black man in Tulsa, he was arrested for raping a

78
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:07.280
white woman who was an elevator operator. A white mob

79
00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:09.400
gathered at the jail. The lynch that guy. Well, the

80
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:12.400
blacks gathered to protect him. Well, gunfire rang out and

81
00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:14.879
ten whites were killed and two blacks were killed. Well,

82
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:18.920
the white community they went back crap crazy on Greenwood.

83
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:21.319
Over the next couple of days, they killed over three

84
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:24.800
hundred Black men and women, burned thirty five blocks of Greenwood,

85
00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:27.279
of homes and businesses all to the ground. They were

86
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:30.560
even dropping firebombs from airplanes. So how did the whole

87
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:34.000
thing actually start well, the black man trip getting into

88
00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:38.240
the elevator, falling into the white female elevator operator. Yeah,

89
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:39.920
a white man saw and thought that the man was

90
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:42.800
assaulting her. So when it was all over, they talked

91
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:45.000
to her about it. She refused to press any charges

92
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:48.439
against the man. She said he literally tripped. In nineteen
