December 5, 1933
December 5, 1933, was a day to celebrate for some, and a day to mourn for others. It was a day that was fourteen years in the making. That day, three states voted to pass the amendment that would repeal prohibition. Alcohol was once again legal in the United States. What else was sharing headlines with the big news story of the day?
