Today in history

Here are just some of the historic events on this date in the past.
On this day in 1902: Future U.S. President Woodrow Wilson became president at Princeton University, where he remained until deciding in 1910 to run for governor of New Jersey. Wilson, an 1879 Princeton grad, called on fellow alumni in 1910 to help reconstruct colleges to develop students into people serviceable to the nation with “the same sympathies as the common people.” Wilson, a Virginia native, was later criticized for instituting segregationist policies within the federal government while president and discouraging Black people from attending Princeton.
In 1978: Latter-Day Saints leadership ended their religious prohibition of Black men serving in the church as priests. It had been in effect since 1852, when Brigham Young, the church’s second president, declared it. The church maintains that Black people continued to join through baptism, noting its founder, Joseph Smith, openly opposed slavery toward the end of his life despite the customary practice at the time.
In 1989: U.S. Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., who had the sixth-longest tenure in congressional history, first proposed a bill seeking a commission to study slavery reparations for African Americans. Conyers reintroduced the bill each year until his retirement in late 2017.
In 1972: Bruce Springsteen signed a contract with Columbia Records. His debut album, “Greetings from Asbury Park,” was released about seven months later.
In 1990: MC Hammer’s “Please Hammer Don’t Hurt ’Em” hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200, and it was at the top for a total of 21 weeks. The former Oakland A’s batboy got his nickname, Hammer, in the 1970s. Slugger Reggie Jackson said he thought Hammer, born Stanley Burrell, looked like home-run king “Hammering” Hank Aaron.
In 2017: Singer-songwriter Glen Campbell’s final album, “Adios,” was released after his last tour and prior diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease. Campbell died about two months after the release
