It's Sunday, November 10th, 2024. Can you believe it? We're already on the 315th day of the year, with just 51 days left until we close the chapter on 2024. Time truly does fly by, doesn't it? But let's focus on the present for now. Today, we commemorate some significant events that have happened on this very day throughout history.
On November 10th, 1969, a beloved children's educational program, "Sesame Street," made its debut on National Educational Television. This iconic show has been entertaining and teaching children for over 50 years now, and we have this day to thank for its beginning.
But that's not all. On this same date in 1775, the U.S. Marines were officially established by the Continental Congress. These brave men and women have been serving our country ever since, and we are forever grateful for their service.
Looking back on this day in history, we also remember some significant events from previous years. In 1898, in Wilmington, North Carolina, a tragic event took place when a group of white supremacists attacked and killed dozens of African Americans. This horrific event, known as the "Wilmington Coup," reminds us of the ongoing fight against racism and discrimination.
Another notable event happened on this day in 1954, when the U.S. Marine Corps Memorial was dedicated in Arlington, Virginia. This iconic monument depicts the raising of the American flag on Iwo Jima during World War II and serves as a reminder of the bravery and sacrifice of our armed forces.
In 1975, a tragedy struck when the Great Lakes freighter SS Edmund Fitzgerald sank during a severe storm, taking the lives of all 29 crew members. And in 2019, Bolivian President Evo Morales resigned amidst public protests over alleged election fraud.
Bringing things back to the present, on this day in 2021, Kyle Rittenhouse took the stand in his murder trial, defending himself against charges of shooting and killing two men and injuring a third during a night of street protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin. This ongoing trial has captured the nation's attention and will continue to do so in the coming days.
