The Star-Spangled Banner Tuesday, 3rd March, 1931: After over a century, a poem written by Francis Scott Key was finally established as the U.S. National Anthem. The lyrics of this song were written on September 14, 1814, while Key observed the British invasion of Fort Mc Henry, a war zone located in Maryland, USA. “The Star-Spangled Banner†composition was inspired by a flag that remained standing, even after several hundred bombings occurred.
CHEROKEE TRIBAL HISTORY
March 3, 2007 - USA
Cherokee tribal history and revokation Saturday, 3rd March, 2007 : The Cherokee Nation of Native Americans have voted to revoke the tribal citizenship of descendants of the black slaves the Cherokees once owned. A total of 76.6% have voted to amend the tribal constitution to limit citizenship to blood tribe members only. Supporters have said that only the Cherokees had the right to determine their own tribal members. Opponents said the amendment is racist and aimed at preventing those with African-American heritage from gaining tribal revenue and government funding. The Cherokee Nation has some 250,000 to 270,000 members, and is second only to the Navajo in size. The vote has followed from a ruling by the Cherokee Nation Supreme Court last year which secured tribal citizenship for descendants of freedmen.
