THIS DAY IN ROAD HISTORY FEB 21

[CEEGE]

I see that this day has no cool road happening. I looked up on wikipedia, which always has a loooong list of important events that happened on days, and I found these. they all happened on the 21st of February, and seem somewhat relevant to Digihitch. So, hey, whoever is in charge of that, I hope you respond!

1804 – The first self-propelling steam locomotive makes its outing at the Pen-y-Darren Ironworks in Wales.

1878 – The first telephone book is issued in New Haven, Connecticut.

1848 – Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels publish The Communist Manifesto.

1937 - Initial flight of the first successful flying car, Waldo Waterman's Arrowbile.

1948 – NASCAR is incorporated.

1952 – The British government, under Winston Churchill, abolishes identity cards in the UK to "set the people free".

1958 – The Peace symbol, commissioned by Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament in protest against the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment, is designed and completed by Gerald Holtom.

1965 – Malcolm X is assassinated at the Audubon Ballroom in New York City by members of the Nation of Islam.

1971 – The Convention on Psychotropic Substances is signed at Vienna.
