•	In 1932: The Venice Film Festival, the oldest continuously running film festival in the world, opened with Rouben Mamoulian’s “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.” The first year was noncompetitive and also screened “Frankenstein” and “It Happened One Night.”
•	In 1945: The Enola Gay bomber dropped the uranium bomb codenamed “Little Boy” on Hiroshima, Japan, killing more than 70,000 people. It was the first atomic bomb used in combat; the U.S. military had tested one in mid-July over New Mexico.
•	In 1965: President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the landmark Voting Rights Act of 1965, barring racial discrimination in voting. It enforced the rights guaranteed by the Reconstruction-era 14th and 15th Constitutional amendments.
