It was on this day in 1837 that Canada provided voting rights to its Black citizens.
It was also the day that one Erik Weisz was born in 1874.
This kid from Budapest grew up to be the amazing Harry Houdini.
A master of illusions most known for his escapism - however I loved how Houdini's side passion was exposing charlatans... those who tried to prey on the greiving with seances and other BS.
That's using your powers for good!
It was also on this day that in 1882 Dr. Koch discovered the the cause of the tuberculosis due to a bacteria TB Bacillus.
Since 1982 they've celebrated the day to help raise awareness.
