• Historic Cultural Gathering in Paris A remarkable meeting of five influential 20th-century artists and intellectuals occurred at the Majestic Hotel in Paris. Sergei Diaghilev (ballet impresario), James Joyce (writer), Pablo Picasso (artist), Marcel Proust (novelist), and Igor Stravinsky (composer) dined together, marking their only known joint meeting. This gathering represented a convergence of modernist thought across multiple artistic disciplines.
• Kirvin, Texas Lynching A horrific act of racial violence occurred in Kirvin, Texas, where a white lynch mob brutally murdered three African-American men: Snap Curry, Mose Jones, and Johnny Cornish. The men were accused of murdering a 17-year-old white girl, Eula Ausley, and were burned alive without due process. This event exemplifies the systemic racism and extrajudicial violence prevalent in the early 20th-century American South.
• Dutch Labor Reform The Dutch Second Chamber of Parliament approved a landmark labor regulation, reducing the standard work week from 45 to 48 hours. This legislative change represented an important step in workers' rights and labor standards in the early 20th century.
