Meme
I’ve been tagged by Alien Redrum so I’ll play along.
Meme Rules: You go to Wikipedia, type in your birthday (month and day) & you list 3 events, 2 births, 1 holiday, and tag 5 friends.
Events:
1904 - The first underground New York City Subway line opens; the system becomes biggest in United States of America, and one of the biggest in world. - figured I would pick a local event as the first one.
1964 - Ronald Reagan delivers a speech on behalf of Republican candidate for president, Barry Goldwater. The speech launched his political career and came to be known as “A Time for Choosing”. - Reagan = Asshole
2005 - Riots begin in Paris after the deaths of two Muslim teenagers - Working class revolt, unfortunately for a pretty dumb reason ultimately.
Births:
1923 - Roy Lichtenstein, American artist (d. 1997) - Never really been a fan of his work, or Pop Art in general, but he was one of the better Pop Artists and had his moments.
1924 - Ruby Dee, American actress - I was going to go with Theodore Roosevelt but opted for Ruby Dee instead. A great activist and actress and married to the brilliant Ossie Davis.
Holiday:
United States - Navy Day - Not quite sure what happens.
I’m going to tag the following:
I doubt either will do it.
