looking back on today
In 2003, Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks provoked controversy in the U.S. by stating that the band was "ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas." Last year in 2006, Three 6 Mafia became the first African-American hip-hop group to win an Academy Award for Best Song and the first hip-hop artists to ever perform at the ceremony. In 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt declared a "bank holiday", closing all United States banks and freezing all financial transactions. I think that will do it for now.
