In his final race before retirement, seven-year-old Seabiscuit took one last stab at the contest that had twice eluded him, the Santa Anita Handicap, on March 2, 1940. Clocking the fastest mile-and-a-quarter in the track's history, Seabiscuit won the race and its $121,000 prize. The thoroughbred hadn't always been a champion, but trainer Tom Smith saw his potential as a young horse and turned him into a winner. | American Experience | PBS

The last of the log cabin presidents, James Garfield was born November 19, 1831 in Cuyahoga County, Ohio. For many Americans, James Garfield represented not only an American's capacity to rise up in the world, but also the larger notion of what they believed the Union had fought for—equal opportunity for all men, Black or white. In the only major speech of his 1880 presidential campaign, Garfield spoke to the issue closest to his heart: the fate of the formerly enslaved. | American Experience |
