Testing
Henry Ford tested his first automobile on this day in 1896.
It was the beginning of a form of transportation that
continues today on freeways & city streets & backroads all
over the world. We are still trying to perfect the car.
A real test by pro-democracy demonstrators took place
on June 4, 1989 in China, when government tanks
rolled into Tiananmen Square. Many people died
for their beliefs that day.
"America's support for human rights and democracy
is our noblest export." -William J. Bennett
And in our democracy, on this day in 1919, women were
finally guaranteed the right to vote when The U.S. Senate
passed the 19th Amendment.
