OKLAHOMA ENTERS THE UNION:November 16, 1907
Indian Territory and Oklahoma Territory collectively enter the United States as Oklahoma, the 46th state.
Oklahoma, with a name derived from the Choctaw Indian words okla, meaning "people," and humma, meaning "red," has a history of human occupation dating back 15,000 years. The first Europeans to visit the region were Spanish explorers in the 16th century, and in the 18th century the Spanish and French struggled for control of the territory. The United States acquired Oklahoma from France in 1803 as part of the Louisiana Purchase.

Prominent Political Consultant Admits Molesting LA Boys
POSTED: 8:18 am PST November 16, 2005
LOS ANGELES -- A consultant to top state Democratic leaders has admitted that he molested two brothers while working at a YMCA more than 30 years ago.
John Robert Stevens was an adviser to former Governor Gray Davis and Assembly speakers Antonio Villaraigosa, Herb Wesson and Fabian Nunez.
In April, he testified in a deposition for a lawsuit accusing the YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles of failing to protect the boys from Stevens' abuse. He admitted he fondled and masturbated the brothers, who were then 13 and 10, when he was youth director of the Rio Vista YMCA in South Gate.
He is not a defendant in the suit but is expected to testify when trial begins next month.
Stevens' attorney says his client is ashamed and "would like to find a way to make it right."
Stevens retired in January after nearly 20 years in state government.
