Today In History

Black History Month
  • In 1995 - Bernard A. Harris, Jr becomes first African American to walk in space
  • In 1780 - Capt. Paul Cuffe and six other African-American residents of Massachusetts petitioned the state legislature for the right to vote. Claiming "no taxation without representation," the residents had earlier refused to pay taxes. The courts agreed and awarded Cuffe and the six other defendants full civil rights.
