FAMOUS EVENTS
First F.W. Woolworth store opens (1879).
Battle of Verdun begins (1916).
Harold Washington elected Chicago's first African-American mayor (1983).
In one of the most dramatic upsets in Olympic history, the underdog U.S. hockey team, made up of collegians and second-rate professional players, defeats the defending champion Soviet team at the XIII Olympic Winter Games in Lake Placid, New York. The Soviet squad, previously regarded as the finest in the world, fell to the youthful American team 4-3 before a frenzied crowd of 10,000 spectators. Two days later, the Americans defeated Finland 4-2 to clinch the hockey gold (1980).
Spanish minister Do Luis de Onis and U.S. Secretary of State John Quincy Adams sign the Florida Purchase Treaty, in which Spain agrees to cede the remainder of its old province of Florida to the United States (1819).
During the Mexican-American War, Mexican General Santa Anna surrounds the outnumbered forces of U.S. General Zachary Taylor at the Angostura Pass in Mexico and demands an immediate surrender. Taylor refused, allegedly replying, "Tell him to go to hell," and early the next morning Santa Anna dispatched some 15,000 troops to move against the 5,000 Americans. The superior U.S. artillery was able to halt one of the two advancing Mexican divisions, while Jefferson Davis' Mississippi riflemen led the defense of the extreme left flank against the other Mexican advance. By five o'clock in the afternoon, the Mexicans begin to withdraw (1847).
Indonesian President Sukarno surrenders all executive authority to military dictator General Suharto, remaining president in title only (1967).
Walt Disney's animated feature Cinderella opens. The ethereal Cinderella, based on a fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm, featured enduring songs like "Someday My Prince Will Come" and became one of Disney's most beloved films. Walt Disney had been releasing feature-length animated movies since 1937, when Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs became the first animated film to run at feature length (1950).
Tina Turner, 49, wins the Grammy for Best Female Rock Vocalist. Turner started recording with husband Ike Turner in 1960 but left him in 1976, claiming he had mistreated her for years. She began her comeback in 1981, opening for the Rolling Stones, and her 1984 album, Private Dancer, sold some five million copies. She continued to have hits through the 1990s and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1991 while ex-husband Ike was in prison on drug charges. Her autobiography, What's Love Got To Do With It, was made into a hit movie starring Angela Bassett (1989).
