1767 The Mason-Dixon line was agreed upon as the boundary between Maryland and Pennsylvania.

I'd always heard of the Mason-Dixon line but never really knew anything about it until just now when I read the above. Very interesting. Imagine those stones being shipped from Great Britian. I'll have to look up to see if there are any pictures. There are. Pretty interesting. Thanks, HB.

1929 The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council of Great Britain ruled that women in Canada were “persons” and therefore, were eligible to become senators. This ruling reversed an April 1928 decision of the Supreme Court of Canada. The fight began in 1918 when a lawyer appeared before Judge Emily Murphy and said her judgements were illegal because she was not a “person” under British legal custom

WHAT????

It is a pretty interesting historical day all around.
