On this day in 1844, Olivet College, Michigan’s first coeducational college and the first to admit black students, was founded. In 1928, Detroit outlawed marijuana, with medical use legalized in 2008 and recreational use in 2018. And in 1943, Sonny Eliot, legendary Detroit weatherman, was shot down over Germany during WWII, later having a 60-year career in TV and radio.
