On this day in 1895, the first Omonoia Station opened in Athens.  In 1954, the US Supreme Court ruled in Brown vs. the Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas, that racially segregated schools were inherently unequal and, therefore, unconstitutional.  Celebrating birthdays today:  Dennis Hopper, Taj Mahal, Enya, Trent Reznor, Busta Rhymes, and my aunt, Jane.  Norway celebrates Syttende Mai, or Constitution Day, today and it is Galician Literature Day.  So get out there and read some Galician literature!
