TODAY IN HISTORY
Today is Wednesday,
Dec. 16, the 351st day of
2020. There are 15 days
left in the year.
Today’s Highlight
in History:
On Dec. 16, 2000,
President-elect George
W. Bush selected Colin
Powell to become the first
African-American secre-
tary of state.
On this date:
In 1773, the Boston
Tea Party took place
as American colonists
boarded a British ship
and dumped more than
300 chests of tea into
Boston Harbor to protest
tea taxes.
In 1809, the French
Senate granted a divorce
decree to Emperor Napo-
leon I and Empress Jose-
phine (the dissolution was
made final the following
month).
In 1811, the first of
the powerful New Madrid
(MAD’-rihd) earthquakes
struck the central Missis-
sippi Valley with an esti-
mated magnitude of 7.7.
In 1905, the enter-
tainment trade publication
Variety came out with its
first weekly issue.
In 1944, the World
War II Battle of the Bulge
began as German forces
launched a surprise at-
tack against Allied forces
through the Ardennes
Forest in Belgium and

were eventually able to
turn the Germans back).
In 1950, President
Harry S. Truman pro-
claimed a national state
of emergency in order to
fight “world conquest by
Communist imperialism.”
In 1960, 134 people
