In an effort to secure voting rights for African Americans, more than thirty-two hundred civil rights activists marched from Selma, Alabama, to the state capitol in Montgomery on this day in 1965. Led by Martin Luther King Jr. and protected by federalized National Guardsmen and FBI agents, the marchers climbed the steps of the Alabama State Capitol, where King delivered a live televised speech. In August, President Lyndon Johnson, who supported the march, signed the Voting Rights Act, guaranteeing African Americans the right to vote.

   Albert Einstein, the son of a Jewish electrical engineer, was born on this day in 1879. Einstein´s scientific theories would change the way humans viewed the universe. His ideas would lead to quantum mechanics and the development of the atomic bomb. Einstein was born in Ulm, Germany, and studied physics and mathematics at the Federal Polytechnic Academy in Zurich, Switzerland. In 1905 Einstein published several extraordninary theoretical papers. In one paper, Einstein theorized that light was made up of small particles called photons. Einstein once said that many of his discoveries came  from mental images he translated into mathematical equations. He once imagined himself riding on a beam of light and looking back at a clock. From that image he developed the special theory of relativity, which says that time slows down when objects travel close to the speed of light.

   Ekonomin i Sverige är nu starkare än någon kunde förutse. Den benämns allt oftare för Tigerekonomi.
