This question needs to be narrowed, but in the strictest sense:
- Marquis de Lafayette arrived in the Americas in 1777.
- Simon Bolivar became dictator of Colombia.
- President Andrew Johnson declared Reconstruction of the South.
- The U.S. Postal Service ended the shipping of children through the mail.
- Babe Ruth made his farewell address.
- The Beatles “Let It Be” hit #1.
- A federal jury sentenced Timothy McVeigh to death.
Now, in my life? Not much. I woke up, breathed air, ran an errand or two and wrote some for my blog. It’s not groundbreaking, but it could be a lot worse.
