history. The strife occurred during a period of Detroit’s history
when the once-affluent city was struggling economically, and
race relations nationwide were at an all-time low.

On July 22, 2003, U.S. Army Private Jessica Lynch, a prisoner-
of-war who was rescued from an Iraqi hospital, received a hero’s welcome when she returns to her hometown of Palestine, West
Virginia.

The story of the 19-year-old supply clerk, who was captured by 
Iraqi forces in March 2003, gripped America; however, it was
later revealed that some details of Lynch’s dramatic capture
and rescue might have been exaggerated.

American aviator Wiley Post returned to Floyd Bennett Field in
New York on July 22, 1933, having flown solo around the world
in 7 days, 18 hours, and 49 minutes. He was the first aviator to accomplish the feat.

Post, instantly recognizable by the patch he wore over one eye,
began the journey on July 15, flying nonstop to Berlin. After a
brief rest, he flew on to the Soviet Union, where he made several
stops before returning to North America, with stops in Alaska,
Canada, and finally a triumphant landing at his starting point in
New York.
