So this is kinda a thread game I think.. It may belong in Off-topic, but I am unsure so I am putting it here.

The point of this "game" is to say something that happened today in history. It can be any date, from any country, as long as it's an event in history, it can be posted. Here's a few examples to get this thing going:

Feb 21

1173 Pope Alexander III canonizes Thomas Becket Archbishop of Canterbury
1431 England begins trial against Joan of Arc
1764 John Wilkes thrown out of English House of Commons for "Essay on Women"
1782 US congress resolves the establishment of a US mint
1853 US authorizes minting of $3 gold pieces
1857 US issues flying eagle cents
1866 Lucy B Hobbs (Taylor) becomes 1st US woman to earn a DDS degree
1878 1st telephone directory (with 50 names) issued (New Haven CT)
1885 Washington Monument dedicated (Washington DC)

Let's keep it going!
