The First Color Commercial Came on T.V.
This was a big deal because it opened the door for televison to be made in color. Unfortunately, not many people could watch color television at first because the majority had black and white television sets. But people could begin to watch the news in color instead of black and white.

9/11 was possibly one of the biggest news events to occur ever in the United States.
