Here's a brief look back in time for this day, June 2. In 1935, the famed Babe Ruth retires from the Major Leagues after 22 seasons. At this point in his career, he was playing for the Boston Braves, where he retires with a batting average of .181 that season. He had made 714 career home runs, which was at that time, the most in MLB history. As of 2026, he sits in third behind Hank Aaron at second, and […]
Here's a brief look back in time for this day, June 1. In 1968, Helen Keller, the prominent American author who became blind and deaf at a young age, dies at the age of 87 in her sleep. Her advocacy for disability rights inspired those with similar conditions to pursue an education. The Harvard graduate had written 14 books prior to her death. In 2008, an accidental fire breaks out in Universal Studios Hollywood, destroying thousands of original video and […]
Here's a brief look back in time for this day, May 31. In 1859, Big Ben, often regarded as London's crown jewel, begins ticking for the first time. Officially known as the Great Clock of Westminster, its Gothic style was the brain child of Augustus Pugin and Sir Charles Berry - the latter of which was also in charge of rebuilding the Palace of Westminster. It was in construction for nearly six years having started in 1853. In 1889, the […]
Here's a brief look back in time for this day, May 30. In 1431, Joan of Arc is burned at the stake on charges of heresy. She was captured by Burgundian soldiers a few days prior, where she was questioned about her faith and loyalty to the church; the fact that she wore men's clothes contributed to her death sentence. She has since become a French national symbol of freedom. In 1911, the first rendition of the Indianapolis 500 is […]
Here's a brief look back in time for this day, May 29. In 1848, the territory of Wisconsin enters the Union as the 30th U.S. state. Due to Wisconsin's proximity to the Great Lakes, it served as a vital economic hub for various goods such as furs, lead, and perhaps most prominently, dairy. When tagged alongside a population boom with incoming Irish, German, and Norwegian immigrants, it was only a matter of time before the "Badger State" became established. In […]
Here's a brief look back in time for this day, May 28. In 1830, the Indian Removal Act is signed into law by 7th U.S. President Andrew Jackson. This formally legalized the forced relocation of Native Americans from their tribal lands as the federal government expands into the southern and western portions of the growing United States. While the Act only enshrined the peaceful negotiation of transferring land - like many treaties signed before - it too, was violated by […]
Here's a brief look back in time for this day, May 27. In 1937, the Golden Gate Bridge opens to the public in the San Francisco Bay. It was a concept once thought too impractical and expensive to bring, especially with its potential to hinder ship traffic to and from the essential waterway. However, after four years of construction, it was made into reality. Over 200,000 people either walked or roller-skated across the Californian icon. Vehicular traffic would be allowed […]
Here's a brief look back in time for this day, May 26. In 1924, 30th U.S. President Calvin Coolidge signs into law the Immigration Act of 1924. Following World War I, Americans grew more suspicious of foreign powers potentially plotting to overthrow democracy. Their fears were sourced from the rise of communism, which began to spread across western Europe with the establishment of Vladimir Lenin's Soviet Union. To remedy this, the U.S. Congress began debating on how to discourage immigrants […]
Here's a brief look back in time for this day, May 25. In 1787, the Constitutional Convention begins convening to discuss reforms in the newly-established democratic government. This was when the checks and balances model began to formulate as a means of ensuring fair and impartial governance between the legislative, judicial, and executive branch. By the end of the convention in September of that year, 38 out of 41 delegates voted to pass the supreme law of the land: the […]
