April 2021

April is the month where Spring it is in its full swing, with flowers blossoming and good weather rapidly approaching.  Spring is often about renewal and looking at the positives. The United States has seen numerous challenges starting from the recent historical sentence against the police that killed George Floyd to President Biden restoring the relationships with Europe agreeing to laws that protect the environment for all of the world.

April has always been a month full of important historical events and here we can explore the ones that changed our perspective of society and life forever.

April is a month that has been historically important to woman. This month supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor became the first woman to preside over the U.S. Supreme Court and Susanna M. Salter became mayor of Argania, Kansas, the first woman mayor that was elected in the U.S. Other events of interest saw the formation of N.A.T.O., which initially was founded against the Russian soviet rise of power. Also, the sad death of civil rights icon Martin Luther King, Jr., who was shot by a sniper in Memphis that lead to a law that finally protected African Americans and people of color.

In April, some of the most tragic and dangerous historic moments of the modern history took place. Two key events were the Ruanda genocide and the explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear plant in the Ukraine. Another moment happened with the outer space accident of the Apollo 13 the when the famous sentence “Houston we have a problem” was pronounced. The horrible sinking of the Titanic, the ship that was supposed to be unsinkable, hit an iceberg and capsized, was another terrible moment that occurred in April. Another tragic event was the bombing of the Spanish city Guernica that inspired several paintings by the famous Spain painter Salvador Dali.

On the other hand, more positive chapters of history began in April with the liberation of the Nazi camp of Birkenauin 1945 and also April marked the end of the Vietnam war in 1975. Another important event was the first human in the space, Yuri Gagarin, the founding of the Metro Goldwin Mayer that was going to change forever the history of the Cinema.  On a lighter note, the launch of the Gameboy that changed the lives of millions of teenagers around the word and the establishment of the Earth day on April 22.
