A Historical Day

April 14, 2016 by GµårÐïåñ
(1865) President Lincoln is shot
1865 Five days after Confederate forces surrender at Appomattox, handing Abraham Lincoln his long-fought victory in the Civil War, John Wilkes Booth enters the Presidential Box at Ford’s Theatre in Washington, DC, and shoots Lincoln once in the back of the head. The president will die the following day..
(1912) RMS Titanic hits an iceberg
Steaming through the icy waters of the North Atlantic, the state-of-the-art luxury British ocean liner RMS Titanic strikes an iceberg just before midnight. The damage proves catastrophic, and the vessel will sink in the early hours of April 15, killing over 1,500.. 1912
(1935) American Dust Bowl’s most massive storm strikes
1935 High winds kick up roughly 300 million tons of topsoil loosened by an eight-year drought and swirl the dust into churning black walls of clouds, blotting out the sun and devastating parts of Texas and Oklahoma. .
(1952) Ralph Ellison’s landmark novel, ‘Invisible Man,’ published
Equal parts poetic and scathing, ‘Invisible Man’ explores an unnamed black man’s search for identity in a society largely hostile to the presence of African Americans or unaware of the black experience. The only novel Ellison will publish in his lifetime, ‘Invisible Man’ will win the National Book Award.. 1952

deviantArt profile for GµårÐïåñ on deviantArt

Facebook i have made a personal choice after their "name policy" witch hunt which repeats every 2 years it seems at the whim of the "bully mob" (even when they make you jump through hoops and verify you), to just quit it and be done with it, they are not worth my time. I don't need it, I don't miss it, in fact it has made my life more productive and void of gross hate, vitriol and drivel. To those who say they can't stay in touch if I am not on there, if you can't reach me because I am not on Facebook, then you are not trying AT ALL - therefore, good riddance.
