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?
