-Today marks the 10th anniversary of the infamous, tragical Columbine Shooting.
-Harriet Tubman started the Underground Railroad.
-Edward "Duke" Kennedy Ellington was born on this day.
-April 20th is the 110th day of the year (111th in leap years).
-All of the clocks in the movie Pulp Fiction are stuck on 4:20.
-Billie Holiday recorded what many consider to be the first civil rights song, Strange Fruit which can bee seen below.
