I didn't know you could look up a date like that on Wike. I looked up my birthday--February 27th--and this is a small highlight of what I found: 1594 – Henry IV is crowned King of France. 1797 – The Bank of England issues the first one-pound and two-pound notes. 1801 – Pursuant to the District of Columbia Organic Act of 1801, Washington, D.C. is placed under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Congress. 1812 – Poet Lord Byron gives his first address as a member of the House of Lords, in defense of Luddite violence against Industrialism in his home county of Nottinghamshire. 1860 – Abraham Lincoln makes a speech at Cooper Union in the city of New York that is largely responsible for his election to the Presidency. 1922 – A challenge to the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, allowing women the right to vote, is rebuffed by the Supreme Court of the United States in Leser v. Garnett. ( I didn't know women's right to vote had ever BEEN challenged.) 1964 – The government of Italy asks for help to keep the Leaning Tower of Pisa from toppling over. 1974 – People magazine is published for the first time. 1991 – Gulf War: U.S. President George H. W. Bush announces that "Kuwait is liberated". Other famous people born on my birthday: ;-) 272 – Constantine I, Roman emperor 1807 – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, American poet 1902 – John Steinbeck, American writer, Nobel laureate (Wow, Steinbeck!) • 1930 – Joanne Woodward, American actress • 1932 – Elizabeth Taylor, British-American actress 1962 – Adam Baldwin, American actor (**same year too) 1980 – Chelsea Clinton, daughter of Bill and Hillary Clinton Thanks for an interesting blog!
