Serbian-American inventor Nikola Tesla was born in July of 1856, in what is now Croatia. He came to the United States in 1884 and briefly worked with Thomas Edison before the two parted ways. He sold several patent rights, including those to his alternating-current machinery, to George Westinghouse. His 1891 invention, the “Tesla coil,” is still used in radio technology today. Tesla died in New York City on January 7, 1943.

Lyndon B. Johnson Bobblehead

Lyndon B. Johnson was John F. Kennedy’s Vice President and became the 36th President when Kennedy was killed in 1963.   As President, Johnson passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the first effective civil rights law since Reconstruction. In 1964, Johnson won
the presidency against the Republican challenger Barry Goldwater.

Today Americans feel the impact of President Johnson’s legacy in nearly every aspect of their lives. Under his leadership, Congress passed more than sixty education bills, initiated a war on poverty, provided federal support for the arts and humanities, implemented immigration reform, championed environmental beautification and conservation, and provided medical care to millions through Medicare and Medicaid. Civil rights continued to advance with the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the Civil Rights Act of 1968. Under Johnson, the U.S. also made impressive gains in space exploration.

The Vietnam War overshadowed many of Johnson’s accomplishments. He increased U.S. troop involvement but could not end the war. Controversy and protests became acute by March 1968, and Johnson withdrew as a candidate for re-election so he could devote his efforts to seeking peace. When he left office, peace talks were underway.

Barney Bush was a beloved Scottish Terrier of President and Mrs. George W. Bush. Barney joined the Bush family after the Presidential election in 2000, as a gift from President Bush to Mrs. Bush.  Barney became famous as the star of the White House’s holiday video series “Barney Cam.”

President George W. Bush wrote, upon Barney’s passing,

“Barney guarded the South Lawn entrance of the White House as if he were a Secret Service agent…Barney greeted Queens, Heads of State, and Prime Ministers.  He was always polite and never jumped in their laps.  Barney was by my side during our eight years in the White House.  He never discussed politics and was always a faithful friend.  Laura and I will miss our pal.”

Born November 7th, 1867, physicist and chemist Marie Skłodowska-Curie became the first woman to win a Nobel Prize for her studies of radiation, as well as the first woman to win in more than one field and multiple sciences. Her extensive work in radioactivity forced the scientific world to reconsider the foundation of physics, and it paved the way for other discoveries, such as the nuclear atom and treatment for cancer.
