Monday, June 2, 1924. All Native Americans granted citzenship.

The Indian Citizenship Act was signed into law making all Native Americans U.S. citizens.  A little under half of the 300,000 Native Americans in the country became citizens for the first time due to the act.

It read:

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That all non citizen Indians born within the territorial limits of the United States be, and they are hereby, declared to be citizens of the United States: Provided That the granting of such citizenship shall not in any manner impair or otherwise affect the right of any Indian to tribal or other property.

The Communist Party's Central Committee chose the real leaders of the country, the Politburo.  The leaders chosen, in the wake of Lenin's death, were Bukharin, Stalin, Trotsky, Rykov, Kamenev, Tomsky and Zinoviev.  They'd all be victims of Stalin's purge, save obviously for Stalin, with Tomsky being the only one who wasn't executed, but only because he killed himself rather than be arrested.

Frank Lloyd's The Sea Hawk made an early premier in New York City.
