ONION History: Statue of Liberty immigrates. Black students experience desegregated racism

 
This Week In History: The Statue Of Liberty arrives from France, moves into a cramped tenement building, and looks for a sweatshop job just like other immigrants of the day. The Onion also looks at the discovery of a group of North Dakotan coal miners that would become the cast of ‘Happy Days,’ the Supreme Court ruling that allowed black students to experience racism first hand in desegregated schools, and the historic hot air balloon ride that allowed one 13-year-old to become the first American to urinate on a crowd from 100 feet in the air.
