My wife's favourite movie, or one of her favourites, is Back to the Future ... had it not been for that movie, many people may have never known about the DeLorean.
The DeLorean Motor Company started it's production of the infamous vehicle back in 1981 and the first production unit rolled off on this day back then.
I always thought DMC was for Detroit, but it turns out this was actually assembled in Ireland.
Someone eventually got it up to 88 miles per hour and it made history.
Someone else who made history was a man by the name of Lincoln Alexander. For Canada, he was the first Black member of Canadian Parliament (back in 1968) and became the lieutenant-governor of Ontario (1985-1991).
In 2015 Canada announced that his birthday, January 21st, would be forever known as Lincoln Alexander Day. He would have been 100 years old today.
