Arsenal Goalkeeper Jack Kelsey
During a game in 1954, goalkeeper Jack Kelsey struggled to keep an eye out for the ball due to incredibly thick fog that filled the pitch. Eventually, the game was called off since it was nearly impossible to see anything at all.
Ruby Bridges
In 1960, Ruby Bridges became the first African-American child to attend a newly-desegregated William Frantz Elementary School in Louisiana. She had to be escorted by U.S. Marshals due to threats to her safety. She had to walk past vicious dissenters hurling vitriol her way each day on her way to school.
