Good morning everyone! Today in 2007, the House of Commons unanimously apologized to former students of Canadas Residential Schools for the trauma they suffered as a result of policies intended to assimilate Indian, Inuit and Metis children into mainstream society. Also today in 1931, the $40 million Empire State Building was completed in New York, holding the title of the worlds tallest building for two decades and in 1960, Cold War tensions reached one of their highest levels when an American spy plane piloted by Francis Gary Powers was shot down over the Soviet Union. Powers was later sentenced to 10 years in prison, but was released in a spy exchange 18 months later. Have a good one!
