    ... in 1955 AD - Rosa Parks arrested for not giving up bus seat to white passenger. On December 1, 1955, civil rights activist Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her seat to a white man on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama. Her action prompted a year-long boycott of the Montgomery public transit system, which only came to an end after bus segregation was ruled illegal by the federal courts. Read a brief biography of Rosa Parks from the Rosa Parks Library and Museum at Troy State University, Montgomery. In 1999 Ms. Parks received the background report on the Pacifica News Network.

    ... 1909 AD - 1909 Oldest still-operating NHL franchise is officially established as J. Ambrose O’Brien and Jack Laviolette create the “Club de Hockey Canadien,” known today as the Montreal Canadiens


    ... in 1933 AD - FDR established Federal Alcohol Control Administration. On December 4, 1933, President Franklin Roosevelt established the Federal Alcohol Control Administration (FACA) by executive order under the National Industrial Recovery Act just prior to the formal end of Prohibition. FACA was charged with guiding legitimate wineries and distilleries under a system based on brewers' voluntary codes of fair competition. It effectively vanished from history after just twenty months, when President Roosevelt in August 1935 signed the Federal Alcohol Administration (FAA) Act, lodging alcohol regulation exclusively with the US Treasury Department, where it currently remains under the jurisdiction of the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, formerly the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF).

    Yet another reason not to like FDR.

    …in 1884 AD - On December 6, 1884, in Washington, D.C., workers place a nine-inch aluminum pyramid atop a tower of white marble, completing the construction of an impressive monument to the city’s namesake and the nation’s first president, George Washington. https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history

    No Mortar Was Used In The Construction Of The Washington Monument. It is a little-known fact that the Washington Monument was constructed from marble blocks that were simply set into place. No mortar was used; they're held together by nothing more than their own weight, gravity, and hope. https://historydaily.org/washington-...s-facts-trivia
