Thanksgiving Day becomes an official holiday, "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" is published, the NHL is formed, "Casablanca" premieres, and the Concorde lands for the last time, all on this day.

2004: A male Po'ouli (black-faced honeycreeper) dies of avian malaria in the Maui Bird Conservation Center in Olinda, Hawaii, before it could breed, making the species in all probability extinct. The bird remains listed as "critically endangered" by BirdLife International and the International Union for Conservation of Nature until additional surveys can confirm its extinction.
