First integrated school 📚
- September 4, 1957, was the first day of class at Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, but this first day was unlike any the school had known previously. The previously all-white school was becoming the first integrated school after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Brown v. Board of Education that segregation was unconstitutional.
The pictures of the “Little Rock 9″—the first black students to enroll—are iconic as a testament to bravery today.

⚠️ German chocolate cake was invented in Texas
- The “German” part of German chocolate cake comes from an American man—not a European country. Specifically, it’s named after Sam German, who in 1852 created the formula for a mild dark baking chocolate bar for Baker’s Chocolate Company, which was subsequently named Baker’s German’s Sweet Chocolate. Fast-forward to June 13, 1957.
The Dallas Morning Star published the recipe for the cake, invented and submitted by a reader identified as Mrs. George Clay, according to What’s Cooking America.
