SMALL TALK
ON THIS DATE: In 1776, the constitutional convention of the colony of Virginia adopted the Virginia Declaration of Rights, a model for the Bill of Rights later added to the U.S. Constitution. In 1898, the Philippines, under revolutionary leader Emilio Aguinaldo, declared its independence from Spain. In 1939, the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York, held its first induction ceremony; Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, and Honus Wagner were among the inaugural class, which had been elected three years earlier. In 1963, civil rights activist Medgar Evers was fatally shot outside his home in Jackson, Mississippi; his murder received national attention and helped galvanize the movement. In 1967, in Loving v. Virginia the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously struck down a state law that banned interracial marriage, ruling that it was unconstitutional under the equal protection and due process clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment. In 1987, speaking about the Berlin Wall as he stood at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, President Ronald Reagan entreated the Soviet leader, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.” In 1991, Boris Yeltsin was elected president of Russia (then part of the Soviet Union) in the republic’s first direct, popular elections. In 2016, the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history up to that time occurred when Omar Mateen opened fire at Pulse, an LGBTQ nightclub in Orlando, Florida, killing 49 people and wounding more than 50.
