A DIVIDED MINNESOTA COURT OF APPEALS PANEL HAS CLEARED THE WAY FOR A YOUNG BLACK GIRL TO BE ADOPTED BY HER GRANDPARENTS IN VIRGINIA RATHER THAN BY HER WHITE FOSTER PARENTS IN MINNESOTA. THE COURT SAYS RELATIVES ARE THE BEST SUITED TO CARE FOR THE CHILD. BUT THE COURT ALSO RULED THAT A STATE LAW AIMED AT PLACING MINORITY CHILDREN WITH FAMILIES OF THE SAME RACE IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL. AN ADOPTION AGENCY AGREES WITH THE RULING AND THE UNCONSTITUTIONALITY OF THE STATE LAW BECAUSE MINORITY FAMILIES ARE DIFFICULT TO FIND AND BEING WITH A FAMILY EARLY ON IS IMPORTANT.

Operation Crossroads atom bomb test. This is the Baker atomic explosion carried out at Bikini Atoll, in the Pacific, at 21:34 UTC on 24 July 1946 as part of Operation Crossroads. Baker was the first underwater nuclear detonation. The yield was thousands of tons of TNT, with the column of water vapour reaching thousands of metres into the air.

This film shows the exhibit known as OUR AMERICAN CROSSROADS in operation. Originally created in 1955 for the General Motors Parade of Progress, this exhibit still exists and is maintained by GM. It was built by the H.B. Stubbs company and was on display at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry until 2001 when it was removed by GM. The Our American Crossroads display is an animated diorama of American life. It depicts lifestyles before and after the introduction of the automobile and a futuristic look years down the road. Starting with (as the narrator says) "a sleepy, rural crossroad consisting of muddy roads, a rickety wooden bridge and a few scattered farm houses, you see a simple story of American growth and development unfold before your eyes. Beginning with the first appearance of a horseless carriage – this ever-changing diorama dramatically traces the impact of the automobile on the isolated community. The transformation from a muddy crossroad to a modern bustling community, vividly illustrates the important role played by the automobile in the rapid growth of America. We have progressed from a country of isolated rural communities and scattered cities – to an integrated land connected by a great network of roads and highways … and we have come this far in only sixty years. <p><p>00:00 - 0:34: The film begins by describing modern cities as dynamic places where people are constantly moving.
