October has two traditional birthstones: opal and tourmaline.
Opal has long been associated with October, while tourmaline comes in an especially wide range of colors. Birthstones are cultural traditions rather than scientific or astrological facts.

October has an important connection to Black LGBTQ+ history.
New York City's LGBTQ+ history includes the Black queer communities of the Harlem Renaissance. Figures such as Langston Hughes, Countee Cullen, Alain Locke, Ma Rainey, and Bessie Smith are discussed by historians in connection with queer cultural life during that era.

Thurgood Marshall was sworn in as the first Black U.S. Supreme Court justice in October 1967.
