Today is Tuesday, Nov. 25, the 329th day of 2025. There are 36 days left in the year. Today in history: On Nov. 25, 1999, Elian Gonzalez, a 5-year-old Cuban boy, was rescued by two sport fishermen off the coast of Florida, setting off an international custody battle that eventually saw him repatriated to his father in Cuba. Also on this date:
In 1806, the Lewis and Clark expedition returned to St. Louis, more than two years after setting out for the Pacific Northwest. In 1955, a jury in Sumner, Mississippi, acquitted two white men, Roy Bryant and J.W. Milam, of killing Black teenager Emmett Till. (The two later admitted to the crime in an interview with Look magazine.) In 1957, nine Black students who entered Little Rock Central High School in Arkansas were forced to withdraw because of a white mob outside.
Happy Birthday: Take control and make things happen this year. If you crave change or greater security, it's up to you to put a plan on the table and promote what you want to pursue. Waiting for things to come to you will lead to disappointment, but hustling, networking and marketing your ideas, skills and perspective on how things unfold will connect you with people who can help you bring your dreams to life. Your numbers are 8, 13, 17, 24, 31, 38, 42.
