On this day in history:
In 1626, Dutch explorer Peter Minuit landed on Manhattan Island. Native Americans later sold the island (20,000 acres) for $24 in cloth and buttons.
In 1930, Mahatma Gandhi was arrested by the British.
In 1961, thirteen civil rights activists, dubbed "Freedom Riders," began a bus trip through the South.
Quote for today:
“Lord, make me an instrument of your peace; where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy.”
-St. Francis
Have a Blessed day.
