21st Amendment Day

On this day in 1933 the 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, better known as Prohibition, was repealed with the ratification of the 21st Amendment.

In terms of structured civil disobedience, the law prohibiting the sale of alcohol during Prohibition has no equal in history. Traffic laws are routinely disobeyed but society does not implement and support an entire infrastructure devoted to the breaking of traffic laws.
