Title: Bttf todayinhistory

**What does your instant answer do?**
Lists historical events on current/given day.

**What problem does your instant answer solve (Why is it better than organic links)?**
Instant relevant information displayed.

**What is the data source for your instant answer? (Provide a link if possible)**
Wikipedia.

**Why did you choose this data source?**
Biggest online encyclopedia, regular updates etc.

**Are there any other alternative (better) data sources?**
History.com could be considered, although its a matter of preference.

**What are some example queries that trigger this instant answer?**
today in history, this day in history.

**Which communities will this instant answer be especially useful for? (gamers, book lovers, etc)**
general users.

**Is this instant answer connected to a DuckDuckHack [instant answer idea](https://duck.co/ideas)?**
Yes, https://duck.co/ideas/idea/482/today-in-history

**Which existing instant answers will this one supersede/overlap with?**
No idea.

**Are you having any problems? Do you need our help with anything?**
Review and suggest if this front-end is good enough? I have attached an alternative snap also (using the first one). I need some contact on irc, who is mostly available (couldn’t get a hold of anyone, for design opinion). Let me know if there are any prioritized IA's which need conversion for bttf (or some other work), so i can do those. Thanks.
