ON THIS DATE: In 1788, the U.S Constitution was ratified. On June 21, New Hampshire became the ninth and last necessary state to ratify the Constitution of the United States, which made the document the law of the land. In 1893, the Ferris Wheel was introduced at the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. In 1939, Lou Gehrig quit baseball due to illness. In 1945, Pan Am announced an 88-hour round-the-world flight at a cost of $700. In 1964, the white supremacist terrorist and hate group, KKK, killed three civil rights activists. Michael Schwerner, Andrew Goodman and James Chaney were murdered by a Ku Klux Klan mob near Meridian, Mississippi because the three civil rights workers were working to register Black voters. In 1982, John Hinckley, Jr., who shot President Ronald Reagan, was found not guilty of attempted murder by reason of insanity. In 1990, an earthquake near the Caspian Sea in Iran wreaked havoc, killed an estimated 50,000 and injured another 135,000 people. In 2004, SpaceShipOne, designed by Burt Rutan and piloted by Mike Melvill, reached 328,491 feet above Earth in a 90-minute flight: about 400 feet above the distance scientists considered the boundary of space.
