In 1920, in the year that Helen F Garber was born, in September, a bomb exploded in the J.P. Morgan bank building in New York City, killing 30 people immediately - 8 later died due to their injuries - and injuring another 200.

Italian anarchists were suspected of the bombing.

In 1954, when she was 34 years old, on May 17th, the Supreme Court released a decision on Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka. The ruling stated that state laws establishing separate public schools for black and white students was unconstitutional thus paving the way for integration in schools.

The hostilities began when Israel launched "preemptive" strikes against Egypt, destroying nearly its entire air force. It ended with Israel occupying the Sinai Peninsula, Golan Heights, Gaza Strip and West Bank.

In 1971, she was 51 years old when in March, Intel shipped the first microprocessor to Busicom, a Japanese manufacturer of calculators.

In 1988, at the age of 68 years old, Helen was alive when on December 16th, 1988 the popular film Rain Man was released.
