Today in history

Here are just some of the events on this date in the past.

•	On this day in 1947: U.S. Secretary of State George Marshall proposed what became the Economic Recovery Act of 1948, or Marshall Plan, which helped Europe financially recover from the devastation of World War II. President Harry Truman later sent Congress a message that detailed Marshall’s ideas. Congress overwhelmingly adopted it, and Truman signed it into law. The U.S. provided $13.3 billion to Europeans over a four-year period.
•	In 1956: A federal court ruled that racial segregation on city buses in Montgomery, Alabama, violated the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. While the city appealed the decision, segregated seating and a bus boycott sparked by Rosa Parks’ late 1955 refusal to give up her seat would continue for a total of 381 days.
•	In 1965: The film soundtrack for “The Sound of Music,” the final collaboration of composer-lyricist Richard Rodgers and lyricist-librettist Oscar Hammerstein, hit No. 1 on the U.K. album chart. The LP from the movie adaptation of their 1959 Broadway musical remained No. 1 there for 70 weeks. Later in 1965, it topped the Billboard 200 U.S. chart and went on to be in its top 10 for 109 weeks. Billboard in 2015 ranked it the most successful soundtrack ever on its chart.
•	In 1968: Palestinian-born Jordanian citizen Sirhan Sirhan shot U.S. Sen. Robert Kennedy, who died the next day. Sirhan was convicted of murder and given a death sentence that was commuted to life in prison in 1972 during a period when California outlawed capital punishment.
•	In 1981: The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published the first article describing what became known as Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, or AIDS. The CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report detailed five gay men in their late 20s or 30s who all had been diagnosed with “Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia,” or PCP, at three Los Angeles hospitals. Two had died by the publication date; others died afterward. It is widely credited as the start of the AIDS crisis, one that early on many people falsely believed only targeted gay men.
•	In 2004: Former President Ronald Reagan died at 93. The actor-turned-politician died from pneumonia after a decadelong battle with Alzheimer’s disease. As the nation’s 40th president from 1981-1989, he is widely credited with helping to halt the Cold War, overhaul the U.S. tax code and maintain lower inflation than he inherited when he took office.
