Celebrate Int'l Day for Tolerance
This day was created to encourage mindfulness and faith in human rights – in order to encourage equality and diversity across the world, the UN introduced The International Day for Tolerance in 1996. It followed the United Nations Year for Tolerance, which was 1995, in order to observe its teachings annually.
There’s no doubt that a world free of tolerance would not be a good place to be. It is the belief of those supporting this day that such a world should never exist – and that everyone has a right to their expression, religion, and their conscience without fear of bias or ridicule. In addition, it teaches that a persons racial or religious background is inconsequential to the potential for tolerance and friendship between them.
The UN defines tolerance as respect, appreciate and acceptance of the diversity of the world’s cultures and all the ways that we are human. It is a human right to receive, and should be expected to be practiced by not just individuals, but groups and states. Human rights is the core of this thought – as such, it supports the notion that humanity has the right to live in peace.
The International Day for Tolerance supports the notion that education is a key factor in preventing intolerance across the human race. On this day, we are encouraged to educate and learn how to practice solidarity between ethnic, social and cultural groups.

If You Were Born Today, November 16
Although you are intense and sometimes quite stubborn, you are also quite versatile and somewhat restless. Your mind is so sharp and your talents many, that you may change your career path more than a few times in your life. Your relationships may be a little challenging. You tend to be attracted to unusual people or situations. You work largely on instinct, and you absorb and process information in your environment quickly. Your emotions are powerful, and you can usually use them to your advantage rather than letting them overwhelm you. People often turn to you for advice. Famous people born today:
1717 Jean-Baptiste Le Rond d'Alembert, French Enlightenment philosopher and mathematician (Encyclopédie), born in Paris (d. 1783)
1873 W. C. Handy, American composer and musician known as the "Father of the Blues" (Memphis Blues, St Louis Blues), born in Florence, Alabama (d. 1958)
1907 Burgess Meredith, American actor (Mr Novak, The Penguin in Batman, Rocky), born in Cleveland, Ohio (d. 1997)

2.1907 -
On November 16, 1907, Oklahoma became the 46th state to enter the union. Oklahoma is known by its nickname, The Sooner State, in reference to early settlers who flooded the region to claim a stake of unassigned land prior to the
official opening date. People who entered the district illegally to lay claim to land were called "Sooners." Early legal settlers had a very low opinion of Sooners. However, like many nicknames, this one's negative connotations faded over time
and Oklahoma adopted the nickname “The Sooner State”.
