This Day in History

March 19th in History

The Tuskegee Airmen are activated! In other news, the first movie footage is shot, time zones begin in the USA, the Falkland War begins, and Dylan releases his first album. It attracts little notice. It's the birthday of Ursula Andress, Philip Roth, Patrick McGoohan, Albert Speer, Moms Mabley, Earl Warren, William Jennings Bryan, Wyatt Earp, Sir Richard Frances Burton, and (presumably) David Livingstone. Arthur C. Clarke, John DeLorean, and Anne Klein died. Happy Minna Canth's Day!
