Number to Know

1967: Year on this day when the Supreme Court ruled that anti-miscegenation (interracial marriage) laws were unconstitutional, overturning laws in 16 states that still had them on the books. Many people celebrate today as Loving Day, named after the case, Loving v. Virginia.

This Day in History

June 12, 1994: Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman are murdered outside her home in Los Angeles. O.J. Simpson is later acquitted of the killings, but is held liable in wrongful death civil suit.

Local History

June 12, 1921: The local fire department has among its other apparatus a large net to be used in extreme cases of fire, when the retreat of the persons in buildings is cut off. School fires might sometimes bring about such conditions. The latest precaution is to teach certain pupils how to jump in the big fire net from second and third story windows while the net is being held by the firemen down below. One of the schools a few days ago was practiced on and the lads seemed to be eager to make the leap for life from the dizzy heights, three stories up.

Today's Featured Birthday

Former President George H. W. Bush (87)

Daily Quote

"America is never wholly herself unless she is engaged in high moral principle. We as a people have such a purpose today. It is to make kinder the face of the nation and gentler the face of the world." - Former President George H. W. Bush
