On March 2, 1807, the U.S. Congress passes an act to
“prohibit the importation of slaves into any port or

would go into effect at the start of the following
year.

On March 2, 1966, in Dearborn, Michigan, the Ford Motor
Company celebrated the production of its one millionth
Mustang, a white convertible.

The sporty, affordable vehicle was officially launched
two years earlier, on April 17, 1964, at the World’s Fair
in Flushing Meadows New York. ,

That same day, the new car debuted in Ford showrooms
across America; almost immediately, buyers snapped up
nearly 22,000 of them.
