Add historical events for when things were legalized/decriminalized

Open VickiLanger opened this issue 4 years ago • 6 comments

I would love to see an event for each US state like the below:

'2009-04-03': 'Same-sex marriage is legal in the state of Iowa. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same-sex_marriage_in_Iowa',

In addition, it would be great to have events like that for all the countries that have made things legal.


All events added should look like the below

    '2020-10-04': 'title',
    '1969-06-28': 'Stonewall riots https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stonewall_riots',
    '2019-09-16', 'words that will be tweeted and a reference link url',

Proposed workflow:

  1. Fork this repo
  2. Add events to words_dir/historical_events.py keeping to the existing style/conventions:
    • Each event should have a date, some text, and a reference link
    • follow the examples above
  3. Once you are done and checked for typos, commit it & push your work to your fork
  4. Submit a PR against this repo

Someone will look it over and, if deemed appropriate, will merge your PR.

Thanks for contributing!
