#OTD in 1960: Ruby Bridges became the first Black child to attend William J. Frantz Elementary School after a court order mandated the desegregation of schools in New Orleans, Louisiana.

At just six years old, Ruby and her story became a symbol of the civil rights movement 🤎

On this day in 1831, 22-year-old Charles Darwin set sail on the HMS Beagle for a trip around the world. For most of the next five years, the Beagle surveyed the coast of South America, leaving Darwin free to explore the continent and islands, including the Galápagos. He filled dozens of notebooks with careful observations on animals, plants, and geology, and collected thousands of specimens, which he sent home for further study. Darwin later called the Beagle voyage "by far the most important event in my life," saying it "determined my whole career."

On This Day nine years ago, 25-year-old Freddie Gray died from injuries sustained following a brutal encounter with Baltimore police.

A grand jury indicted all six officers involved in the brutal arrest — but none of the charges stuck.

Freddie Gray should still be alive.

"Onwards to breaking the siege!"

January 18, 1943: the encirclement of Leningrad is broken and a land corridor to the city is established. The city will be under siege for another year, but the corridor allowed evacuation and food supply.

Over the course of the siege (900 days), 630,000 civilians died of starvation.
