Good News in History, November 3
On November 3, 70 years ago, The Wizard of Oz was first televised to great success in the US. The broadcast drew a massive audience with over half of viewers tuning in. It would become an annual holiday tradition on CBS.
Why it's good news: It highlights a moment in history when people came together to enjoy a beloved classic.
The kindness section highlights people helping people: strangers stepping in during emergencies, communities rallying around neighbors, small acts that ripple outward. These are not performative charity stories; they are moments where someone chose to act when they did not have to.
