ON THIS DATE: In 1683, The Ashmolean, the world’s first university museum, opened in Oxford, England. In 1833, in Ellicott’s Mills, Maryland, President Andrew Jackson boarded a Baltimore & Ohio Railroad train for a pleasure trip to Baltimore. Jackson, who had never been on a train before, was the first president to take a ride on the “Iron Horse,” as locomotives were known. In 1925, the Chrysler Corporation was founded by Walter Percy Chrysler. In 1934, President Franklin Roosevelt signed the Securities Exchange Act, which established the Securities and Exchange Commission. In 1944, Supreme Allied Commander General Dwight D. Eisenhower gave the go-ahead for the largest amphibious military operation in history: Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of northern France, commonly known as D-Day. In 1971, “The Ed Sullivan Show” aired for the last time. In 1978, “20/20” debuted on ABC. In 2013, Americans learned that their government was spying broadly on its own people. That’s when The Guardian and The Washington Post published the first of a series of reports put together from documents leaked by an anonymous source. The material exposed a government-run surveillance program that monitored the communications records of not just criminals or potential terrorists, but law-abiding citizens as well.
