In 1916, in the year that Thomas L Stanford was born, the U.S. National Park Service - part of the Department of the Interior - was created by an act of Congress in August. The Park Service was charged with the dual role of "preserving the ecological and historical integrity of the places entrusted to its management while also making them available and accessible for public use and enjoyment". The resources managed by the National Park Service have often been referred to as the "crown jewels" of the United States.

In 1926, when he was merely 10 years old, on November 15th, NBC was founded. It was the U.S.'s first major broadcast network.

In 1941, he was 25 years old when in his State of the Union address on January 6th, President Roosevelt detailed the "four freedoms" that everyone in the world should have: Freedom of speech, Freedom of worship, Freedom from want, and Freedom from fear.

In 1969, at the age of 53 years old, Thomas was alive when one hundred countries, along with the United States and the Soviet Union signed the nuclear nonproliferation treaty (NPT).

In 1995, at the age of 79 years old, Thomas was alive when on October 16th, the Million Man March took place on the National Mall in Washington DC. The March was organized to address "the ills of black communities and call for unity and revitalization of African American communities". An estimated 850,000 people attended.
