HISTORICAL CONSCIOUSNESS: 2017 - Across the nation, an unprecedented number of NFL players, coaches, and even owners stood—or kneeled—in solidarity in the face of an avalanche of invective from Donald Trump. Trump had demonstrated himself to be perhaps the one human capable of making the NFL look like a sympathetic character in our national story. He set out to demonize a group of primarily black athletes exercising their First Amendment rights to protest, silently, during a ceremony celebrating American values because they do not think America is living up to those values. It seems his attempt to isolate and marginalize them only grew their movement. 2000 - Saw the Green Bay Packers play the Arizona Cardinals at Sun Devil Stadium. It was hot as fuck. 1996 – Representatives of 71 nations sign the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty at the United Nations. 1969 - The Trial of the Chicago 7 began in Chicago. 1957 - The Brooklyn Dodgers played their last game at Ebbets Field before moving to Los Angeles for the next season. 1906 – U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt proclaims Devils Tower in Wyoming as the nation's first National Monument. 1869 - A group of speculators headed by James Fisk and Jay Gould started hoarding gold, which led to high gold prices. The US Treasury under the orders of President Ulysses S. Grant sold a large amount of gold leading to a plummet in gold prices within the span of minutes.
