On October the sixteenth, thirteen eighty four, Juedwiga was crowned

31
00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:24.400

that their king was a woman. Eighteen thirteen the Battle

33
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:30.240

00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:33.159
Europe before World War One. Napoleon won y m and

00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:57.759
including two of his sons. Brown he escaped. He was

43
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:00.759
later caught by US Army troops led by Roberty Brown

44
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:04.319

45
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:06.800
his family and they were invited to have dinner at

46
00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:09.800
the White House with President Teddy Roosevelt and his wife Edith.

47
00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:12.199
They were the first black people to dine at the

48
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:16.400
White House. Nineteen sixteen, Margaret Sayer, she opened up the

49
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:18.439
first birth control clinic in the United States. It was

50
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:22.000
in Brooklyn, New York. Now it eventually became Planned Parenthood.

51
00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:24.840
In the nineteen forties she opened up basically the private

52
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:28.120
abortions for Blacks, Jews, Italians, and Polish people. Margaret she

53
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:30.719
was very racist. She's thought those people should be eradicated.

54
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:33.719
In twenty twenty, Planned Parenthood they said they didn't support

55
00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:37.479
her racist beliefs, so they disavowed their founder. It is

56
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:40.000
It was believed to be impossible to make a light

57
00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:42.319
bub that was frosted on the inside. Yeah, it just

58
00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:45.919
wouldn't work. So ge they hired this young engineer named

59
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:49.680
Marvin Pipkin. As a practical joke. They were told him, Marvin, Hey,

60
00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:51.439
for your first assignment, you had to create a light

61
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:54.520
bulb that was frosted on the inside today. In nineteen

62
00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:57.280

63
00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:01.280
frosted on the inside. Nineteen forty six, ten Nazi leaders.

64
00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:04.840
They were hung for their crimes of war, for war crimes. Yeah,

65
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:07.039
they'd been found guilty at the Nuremberg Draughts. Most of

66
00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:10.120
the really big names had already committed suicide though. Nineteen

67
00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:13.680

68
00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:15.919

69
00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:19.319
non Italian pope since fifteen twenty three? Do you like

70
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:21.519
doing that? Where is Waldough? You know I would have

71
00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:23.360
loved to have done it today. In nineteen ninety two,

72
00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:25.480
and that one that was printed as people were looking

73
00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:28.079
for Waldough they could find a topless female son bather

74
00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:29.680

00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:41.879
He left this Shimbirth day.

79
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:46.439
And you know you don't oh good. He was born

80
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:50.399
on October the sixteenth, no Webster. He was born in Hartford, Connecticut,

81
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:53.800
in seventeen fifty eight. Now before speltcheck, you actually had

82
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:56.600
to look up words in a book. It's usually Webster

83
00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:59.920
is American Dictionary of the Lean English Language. Now, the

84
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:02.560
first edition was published back in eighteen twenty eight. Took

85
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:05.160
Webster almost forty years to put that thing together. So

86
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:07.879
he didn't want people stealing his stuff, so he lobbery

87
00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:10.720
Congress to pass copyright laws. They passed one in eighteen

88
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:13.279
thirty one. Now that is beating was pretty much the

89
00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:16.240
formation of all the copy light Ross we still have today. No,

90
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:18.680
he married and had eight children. He died in eighteen

91
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:23.279
forty three at eighty four years old. Poet playwright Oscar Wilde.

92
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:26.040
He was born in Dublin, Ireland in eighteen fifty four.

93
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:28.800
By the mid eighteen eighties he was, if not the

94
00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:30.680
one of the most popular play rights over in London.

95
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:32.720
His players were actually very big here in the United States.

96
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:35.519
Then he had married and his woman and his wife

97
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:38.000
they had a son and a daughter. But eighteen eighty

98
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:40.759
six he met and fill in love with Ross. Yeah,

99
00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:44.160
Ross became his longtime boyfriend. But once Ross was found

100
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:46.439
out about Oscar had to go do two years of

101
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.040
hard labor in prison. Yeah, have his sentence for gross

102
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:52.680
indecencies for homosexal activities. Now, after two years of hard labor,

103
00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:55.519
Oscar his health wasn't so good. Then his wife died

104
00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:59.199
and he was pretty much blackball from anybody buying any

105
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:00.759
of his writings and that kind of stuff, and then

106
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:03.759
he became an alcoholic. He died nineteen hundred at forty

107
00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:07.399
six years old. Around fifteen years later Ross he ordered

108
00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:10.279
a tune be built for Oscar. Now Ross's family had

109
00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:12.319
actually had money. That's why Ross didn't go to prison.

110
00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:16.120
So today Ross and Oscar, Yeah, they're both interred in

111
00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:21.000
