Today in history

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

•	On this day in 1776: Congress appointed a committee to draft what became the Declaration of Independence, including Thomas Jefferson of Virginia, John Adams of Massachusetts, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania, Robert Livingston of New York and Roger Sherman of Connecticut. Jefferson’s original draft included 86 changes made by Adams, Franklin and other members of the committee, as well as by Congress.
•	In 1917: King Alexander took the Greek throne after Western Allies occupying Athens forced the abdication of his German-sympathizing father Constantine I amid World War I. Previously neutral Greece later entered the war against the Central Powers of Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire a few weeks later, joining forces with Russia, France, Italy and Britain.
•	In 1927: President Calvin Coolidge gave Charles Lindbergh the first Distinguished Flying Cross three weeks after Lindbergh’s historic nonstop solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean.
•	In 1949: Country singer Hank Williams Sr. made his “Grand Ole Opry” debut at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee. The Alabama native – who was born with spina bifida and grew up extremely poor – was called back to the stage by the audience for six encores. Williams took his hits like “Move it on Over” and “Lovesick Blues” to military bases overseas the same year as part of the European Grand Ole Opry tour.
•	In 1963: During a live address on TV and radio in response to instability at the University of Alabama after desegregation attempts there and racially charged confrontations at protests around the country, President John Kennedy called on Congress to pass what became the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It was intended to guarantee federal voting rights, legal standing, educational opportunities and access to public facilities for all Americans. Kennedy also urged every American family to help heal its racial divide, noting “law alone cannot make men see right.”
•	In 2001: Domestic terrorist Timothy McVeigh was executed by lethal injection at the U.S. prison in Terre Haute, Indiana, for his role in the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City that killed 168 people, including 19 children. McVeigh was convicted in 1997 of murder and conspiracy charges.
