Just 45 years ago, 16 states deemed marriages between two people of different races illegal.  But in 1967, the U.S. Supreme Court considered the case of Richard Perry Loving, who was white, and his wife, Mildred Loving, of African American and Native American descent.

A day before Adolf Hitler committed suicide in his Berlin bunker, Italian fascist leader Benito Mussolini met a more public end. He and his mistress, Clara Petacci were caught by partisans while trying to flee into Switzerland. On April 29, 1945, the two were shot to death in the small village of Giulino di Mezzegra. Their corpses were then taken to the Piazzale Loreto in Milan and strung up on meat hooks above a gas station. Crowds threw stones at the bodies for several days.

Señora Candelaria Villanueva ... lived to age of 112. She nursed James Bowie as he lay on his cot during the seige of the Alamo. Until her death at the turn of the century, she made a small living recounting her version of the story and posing for tourists' photos as "a living survivor of the Alamo".  In 1891, the Texas legislature awarded her a pension of twelve dollars a month for being an Alamo survivor and for her work with smallpox victims in San Antonio.
