As you look through the past, history is made literally every day. Some days are "busier" than others, which is why October 3rd is such an amazing day. I'm actually from Buffalo, so to learn that on this day, in 1964, the first Buffalo wings were introduced to the Anchor Bar.
Pretty awesome, right?
Or how about that on October 3rd, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln officially proclaimed the national holiday of Thanksgiving? Or even more modern, Roy Horn of Siegfried & Roy was attacked by one of their show tigers in 2003.
Scary.
Also, in 1974, incredible racial barriers are broken. Frank Robinson was the first black manager of a major league baseball team. He signed with the Cleveland Indians, and forever forced that wall between races. In 1990, Germany became a whole nation once again. The German Democratic Republic joined the Federal Republic of Germany, and Berlin was once again reunited into a single city. This picture is historically known as a huge democratic win for years to come. In 1993, two US Special Forces Helicopters were shot down in Somalia, killing 18 Americans. That was twenty years ago, and still this casts a long shadow of wrongful foreign intervention. In 1995, the O.J. Simpson case was watched by millions of Americans everyday. He was convicted of murdering his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman. O.J. was acquitted o October 3rd of all murder charges. Now here comes the fun part, not only was O.J acquitted on this day, but thirteen years later convicted of a different crime. In 2008, he was found guilty on a couple felonies. This includes kidnapping, robbery, burglary, and assault with a deadly weapon. Somehow these were all in connection with a Las Vegas hotel room robbery. This man that caught the attention of the world and passed by came back into the system. I think it's karma. Simpson is currently serving a 33-year sentence for armed robbery at Lovelock Correctional Center.
