Did you know?
In 1934, in the year that Opal G. (Rainwater) Rather was born, on June 6th, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission was formed as a response to the stock market crash of 1929 and the continuing Great Depression. Previously, the states regulated the offering and sales of stocks - called "blue sky" laws. They were largely ineffective. Roosevelt created a group (one member was Joseph Kennedy, father of the future President Kennedy) who knew Wall Street well and they defined the mission and operating mode for the SEC. The new organization had broad and stringent rules and oversight and restored public confidence in the stock market in the United States.
Did you know?
In 1947, at the age of just 13 years old, Opal was alive when on November 25th, the Hollywood "Black List" was created by the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC).
