YOUR MORNING NEWS ROUNDUP

Wed Oct 9 2024

Good morning, Arizona. Here’s what our reporters are working on and what you should know about what’s happening across the state before you start your day.

U.S. Senate candidate Kari Lake will finally get the formal, face-to-face debate she has wanted for much of her four years in politics.

It’s also a first, of sorts, for her Democratic opponent, U.S. Rep. Ruben Gallego, who has held office in a safely left-leaning district for nearly a decade with no competition comparable to what Lake presents.

That might suggest an element of suspense heading into today’s debate.

Today in history

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

•	On this day in 1823: Abolitionist and journalist Mary Ann Shadd was born. She was the first Black woman to become an editor when she published the first African American newspaper, The Provincial Freemen. Other achievements included a law degree and the founding of a school for children of all races.
•	In 1936: The Hoover Dam, located on the border of Arizona and Nevada, began generating and transmitting electricity to Los Angeles. The impressive engineering achievement remains a major source of hydroelectric power for several states in the U.S.
•	In 1940: The White House released a statement which said that government “policy is not to intermingle colored and white enlisted personnel in the same regimental organizations.” That segregation would last until 1948.
•	In 1974: German businessman Oskar Schindler, credited with saving 1,200 Jews from the Holocaust, died at the age of 66. According to his wishes, he was buried in Israel at the Catholic cemetery on Mount Zion.
•	In 1986: The musical “The Phantom of the Opera” by Andrew Lloyd Webber premiered in London’s West End. The show became the longest-running musical in Broadway history and has been seen by millions worldwide.
•	In 2006: North Korea conducted its first nuclear test. The underground test using a plutonium-based device was condemned by the UN Security Council. Since then, North Korea has conducted a total of six nuclear tests.
