    Battle of normandy
    June 6th 1944

    D-Day World War II

    During D-day, a journalist went and took pictures of the


    day. He recorded the days while the soldiers to establish
    beachfront in France. The picture shows a soldier
    heading to shore you can also see the debris of what
    seems to be airplane parts. This picture just shows how
    dreadful the situation was. D-day was important because
    they needed to invade europe to allow allies to defeat
    Germany.
    Jackie Robinson: The First African American
    Baseball Player

    This baseball player of the 1940s was the first African American Baseball Player for
    the Dodgers. This was a huge step for African Americans, because at the time there
    was a lot of segregation in the United States of America. Jackie started in the Negro
    League and made his way to the Dodgers. This inspired a lot of African American
    people to do other stuff only white people can do.
    Disneylands Opening

    Disneyland, the most happiest place in Earth. Well in 1955 was the grand opening of Disneyland,
    however it failed miserably because most the rides weren't even finished and there were
    supposed to be 1500 people, but thanks to counterfeit tickets, there was way more. Alas it was a
    catastrophic event, dubbed by the employees Black Sunday. Despite this, Disneyland was still
    a success, and know we know it as the favorite place in Earth.
