Today in History
Today is Sunday, March 23, the 82nd day of 2003. There are 283
days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On March 23,1775, Patrick Henry made his famous call for
American independence from Britain, telling the Virginia
Provincial Convention, "Give me liberty, or give me death! ”
On this date:
In 1919, Benito Mussolini founded his Fascist political move-
ment in Milan, Italy.
In 1933, the German Reichstag adopted the Enabling Act, which
effectively granted Adolf Hitler dictatorial legislative powers.
In 1942, during World War II, the U.S. government began evacu-
ating Japanese-Americans from their West Coast homes to deten-
tion centers.
In 1956, Pakistan became an independent republic within the
British Commonwealth.
In 1983, President Reagan first proposed developing technology
to intercept enemy missiles — a proposal that came to be known
as the Strategic Defense Initiative, as well as “Star Wars.”
In 2001, Russia’s orbiting "Mir” space station ended its 15-year
odyssey with a fiery plunge into the South Pacific.
Ten years ago: In his first formal news conference since taking
office. President Clinton suggested restricting the duty assignment
of homosexuals in the military as a way of allowing openly gey
personnel; however, the idea was quickly abandoned.
Five years ago: President Clinton hailed “the new face of
Africa” as he opened a historic six-nation tour in Ghana. Russian
President Boris Yeltsin fired his Cabinet.
One year ago: President Bush, during a visit to South America,
pledged cooperation with Peru in the fight against terrorism.
