FAMOUS EVENTS
Yellowstone becomes first national park established by Congress (1872).
First American hydrogen bomb detonated at Bikini Atoll (1954).
Jim Morrison arrested for lewd and lascivious behavior (1969).
President John F. Kennedy issues Executive Order #10924, establishing the Peace Corps as a new agency within the Department of State. The same day, he sent a message to Congress asking for permanent funding for the agency, which would send trained American men and women to foreign nations to assist in development efforts. The Peace Corps captured the imagination of the U.S. public, and during the week after its creation thousands of letter poured into Washington from young Americans hoping to volunteer.The immediate precursor of the Peace Corps (1961).
In Salem Village in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, Sarah Goode, Sarah Osborne, and Tituba, an Indian slave from Barbados, are charged with the illegal practice of witchcraft. Later that day, Tituba, possibly under coercion, confessed to the crime, encouraging the authorities to seek out more Salem witches (1692).
In the U.S. Capitol, four members of an extremist Puerto Rican nationalist group fire more than 30 shots at the floor of the House of Representatives from a visitors' gallery, injuring five U.S. representatives. Alvin Bentley of Michigan, George Fallon of Maryland, Ben Jensen of Iowa, Clifford Davis of Tennessee, and Kenneth Roberts of Alabama all eventually recovered from their gunshot wounds and returned to their seats in Congress. Three of the Puerto Rican terrorists were detained immediately after the shooting, and the fourth was captured later. The group was protesting the new constitution of Puerto Rico, which granted the U.S. Congress ultimate authority over the commonwealth's affairs (1954).
Venera 3, a Soviet probe launched from Kazakhstan on November 15, 1965, collides with Venus, the second planet from the sun. Although Venera 3 failed in its mission to measure the Venusian atmosphere, it was the first unmanned spacecraft to reach the surface of another planet. Four years earlier, the U.S. probe Mariner 2 was the first spacecraft to pass close enough to Venus to take scientific measurements of the planet, discovering surface temperatures in excess of 800 degrees Fahrenheit on its surface (1966).
The TV series Ripley's Believe It or Not, featuring strange and unusual phenomena, begins broadcasting. Inspired by a successful radio series, the show ran until September 1950. It enjoyed a revival in 1982, with film star Jack Palance as host. The new show aired on ABC for three and a half years (1950).
The Supreme Court strikes down a Maryland movie censorship law, ruling that it violated the First Amendment. Two weeks later, the court also struck down New York's censorship procedures (1965).
