In my memory, June 12 is always this event in 1982

but in 1963, it was the day Medgar Evers died (DW finds both of those to be misspelled words. Step it up, spell-check). I was seven and a half, and I don't remember any news at all that summer that wasn't related to astronauts (or cosmonauts - this was just before Valentina Tereshkova went up. DW is OK with the spelling of *her* name). I was pretty much ignorant of racial justice movements at the time. I am not sure I knew before today that ME is buried at Arlington National Cemetery, as a WWII veteran.

in 2016, 49 people were murdered at the Pulse nightclub, in Orlando. in 2020, the Trump administration finalized a reversal of health protections for transgender people.

An anniversary for obscenity, today, it seems. :-(

Also on this date in 1945 my partner Valerie was born. We had Indian takeout and homemade carrot cake, and didn't think about any of the bad things that might also have happened on this date in other years.
