Today in history

Here are just some of the events on this date in the past.

•	On this day in 1911: “Ishi,” possibly the last member of the Yahi tribe, encountered white people at a slaughterhouse in Oroville, California. Officials brought him to a museum, where he lived for the rest of his life. “Ishi” means “man” in the Yana language; he refused to share his name without an introduction by a fellow Yahi.
•	In 1957: Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1957, the first federal legislation protecting racial minorities since Reconstruction. It created a civil rights division in the Justice Department and authorized the attorney general to sue on behalf of Black people blocked from voting.
•	In 1970: More than 20,000 Mexican Americans marched through East Los Angeles, calling themselves the Chicano Moratorium, to protest the war in Vietnam and highlight the fact that Mexican Americans were dying in Vietnam at twice the rate of any other group. The Sheriff’s Department began beating protesters, sparking violence that killed three, including Los Angeles Times journalist Rubén Salazar.
•	In 1997: Marc Randolph and Reed Hasting founded an online business that rented digital video discs through the mail, Netflix – or, as they called it, NetFlix. The company originally charged by the disc and sent DVDs in striking red envelopes.
•	In 2005: Hurricane Katrina made landfall in Louisiana as a Category 3 storm. Levees and storm walls failed, flooding and devastating an estimated 80% of New Orleans. The damage totaled about $108 billion in 2005 dollars. Sixteen years later, Category 4 Hurricane Ida hit Louisiana on the same date.
•	In 2008: Republican presidential candidate John McCain named Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate. It was the first time a woman appeared on the GOP presidential ticket. “This is America, and every woman can walk through every door of opportunity,” she said, and joked, “the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull? Lipstick.”
