I don't know how helpful it would be in this case (I'm a science man, and this method works wonders for scientific topics), but if you're really desperate, look up the event on Wikipedia and take a look at whatever sources are cited in the article. Obviously, don't just steal citations, but rather try to find the sources, give them a read, then use them yourself if at all possible. This is my preferred method for finding just-in-case sources for things that are freaking obvious and/or common knowledge. (I once got points marked off because I didn't cite that the mammalian heart has 4 chambers. I've never been more insulted academically.)
