Frank Sinatra was a fervent anti-racist and an early activist during the civil rights movement. He refused to stay at hotels and play at clubs that did not admit black people. His band would also provide equal pay and treatment for black musicians. It was through his relentless and tireless efforts that Las Vegas quickly became integrated.
In an interview in 2016, Frank Sinatra, Jr. had this to say about his father: "In the days when Las Vegas began to become popular, the black performers could play in showrooms, but they couldn't stay in the hotel. And it was Frank Sinatra who went to the board of directors, who had rather shady pasts, and he said, 'Are you guys going to come into the twentieth century, or aren't you?'... Somebody said 'Well, we have white people, we have black people." Sinatra, the story goes, said to them, 'The money is green. How about that?' And they began to look at each other, and the wheels were turning, and because of Sammy (Davis), Las Vegas became integrated.
Sinatra was also a significant supporter of Martin Luther King and helped him raise money to support the Civil Rights Movement by headlining fundraisers. In 1958, he wrote in Ebony Magazine: "A friend to me has no race, no class and belongs to no minority. My friendships are formed out of affection, mutual respect, and a feeling of having something in common. These are eternal values that cannot be classified."

After the completion of the Big Dig in Boston, a remarkable transformation took place in the city's transportation system. Previously, Boston faced a significant traffic dilemma known as the Central Artery, an elevated highway running through the heart of downtown. From its inauguration in 1959, the Central Artery struggled to accommodate the growing volume of vehicles, with a surge from 75,000 to over 200,000 daily by the early 1990s. Consequently, it became notorious as one of the most congested highways in the entire United States.
The consequences of this congestion were severe. Traffic moved at a snail's pace for up to ten hours each day, and the accident rate on the Central Artery exceeded the national average fourfold. Motorists suffered an estimated annual cost of $500 million due to these challenges.
To address this crisis, the Central Artery/Tunnel project, commonly known as the Big Dig, was initiated. The objective was to replace the six-lane elevated highway with an underground expressway, situated beneath the existing road. The planning phase commenced in 1982, and construction activities spanned from 1991 to 2006. Despite enduring a lengthy and troubled 15-year journey, the project finally reached its completion in 2006.
The underground tunnel stretches approximately 1.5 miles and boasts eight lanes. At its peak, the project engaged a workforce of 5,000 individuals daily. With a staggering cost of $14.6 billion, the Big Dig became one of the most financially demanding construction ventures in history.

Hiroo Onoda (小野田 寛郎) was a Japanese soldier who continued to fight the war 30 years after Japan surrendered in 1945. It is arguably the most extreme example of fighting for honour in the entire war.
Onoda was sent to Lubang island in the Philippines and was instructed to carry out sabotage and not die or kill himself under any circumstances by his commander. He was assigned to a group of other Japanese soldiers. During this time, he and his comrades hid out in the hills of the Island and would carry out guerilla attacks against the locals. However, their isolation would lead to their famous story.
After a while, only four soldiers remained in the group. Private Yuichi Akatsu, Corporal Shōichi Shimada and Private First Class Kinshichi Kozuka and Onoda himself, who was a lieutenant at this point.
The group did not realise that the war ended in 1945 and still carried out their attacks on locals, stealing food, burning rice fields and engaging in shootouts with police. Several attempts were made to make the soldiers realise the war was over, as leaflets were sent to the group telling them of Japan's surrender. However, the soldiers believed these leaflets were fake, a trap to lure them out of the cave they were living in.
During this time, the group killed at least 30 civilians.
Akatsu walked away from the group in 1949 and Shimada was shot and killed in 1954 by a search party, and in 1972, Kozuka was shot and killed by local police.
In 1974, Norio Suzuki (鈴木 紀夫), a Japanese explorer, went looking for Onoda and met him in the hills near the cave. Suzuki explained to Onoda that the war was over, but Onoda said he would not surrender unless directed. Onoda's retired commander, Major Yoshimi Taniguchi, would give him direct orders to do so. Taniguchi was flown to Onoda and gave him orders to surrender, which Onoda did. He gave up his Arisaka Type 99 rifle, 500 rounds of ammunition and several hand grenades, and a dagger (to use for suicide). He was pardoned and then moved to Brazil and raised Cattle.
He died in 2014 at the age of 91
