An item of clothing prompted assaults in the 1940s.

In the 1940s, Zoot Suits — a loose fitting pair of pants and jacket — were commonly worn by Latino, Black, and other men of color, according to the Smithsonian website. But what some saw as a fashion statement, many saw as an insult towards America and its soldiers, given the wartime rations on fabric.

As a result, the summer of 1943 was filled with attacks of members of these minority communities in Los Angeles, according to History. In an effort to stop the attacks, the Los Angeles City Council issued a ban on Zoot Suits.

Interesting History: Did you know...

George’s Teeth Weren’t Made of Wood

Many have heard the stories about George Washington’s famous dentures. The legend says that they were made of wood, but that’s not actually true. The false chompers were made from hippopotamus tusk by John Greenwood, the first native-born American dentist. Washington had just one tooth left in his mouth by the time his dentures were fabricated; it was a lower left bicuspid. The false teeth were made to allow that tooth to show.
