“A Trip to the Moon”, often credited as the first #sci-fi movie, was released 1 Sept 1902. Inspired by #JulesVerne novels, the film has set pieces that still appear in sci-fi movies today.

❗ Parents are having to skip meals to pay for expensive school uniforms.
A new school jumper could mean no food for a week.

#OnThisDay, 28 Aug 1917, ten of the Silent Sentinels are arrested outside the US White House.
The sentinels were campaigning for women's suffrage, and picketed the White House for two and a half years.
