This Day in History

A congressional commission released a report condemning the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II as a "grave injustice."

Other major findings from the report:

•Abe Lincoln: "wicked tall"
•Ice Cream: "delicious"

1997
The Food and Drug Administration named six different birth control brands as safe and effective "morning-after" pills for preventing pregnancy before adding, "failing that, jumping up and down for 30 seconds immediately after doin' it should totally work, too."

2007
The Virginia General Assembly passed a resolution [VJR-728- SOWE'RECOOLNOWRIGHT?] expressing "profound regret" for the state's role in slavery.
