ON THIS DAY IN WEIRD


On This Day in Weird, September 18...

We take a break from honest Forteana to prove that very little changes over time...

1789: The new U.S. government takes out its first loan to pay the salaries of Congress and the president.

1885: Riots break out in Montreal, Québec, against compulsory smallpox vaccination.

1945: One thousand white students walk out of Gary, Indiana's public schools to protest racial integration.

Do humans ever learn from history?
