Today's Moment to Remember

[ James Meredith being escorted during his admission to the University of Mississippi = public domain image ]

On this date, September 30, in 1962, with guards protecting him from the protesting and rioting, James Meredith was admitted to the University of Mississippi (aka 'Ole Miss').  Segregation of schools was the separation of white schools from minority, mostly black, schools.  Meredith, an Air Force veteran looking to go to a public university, showed his opposition to segregation of schools by enrolling himself in previous all-white University of Mississippi.  He was inspired by President John F. Kennedy's inaugural address which highlighted the need for more equal civil rights for all Americans - especially African-Americans.

Today's Slice of Americana
... the Great Bambino ...

On this date, September, 30 in 1927, Babe Ruth, the Great Bambino, hit a home run in the final game of the season to give him a record 60 home runs.  Upon setting the record, he apparently said, "Sixty! Let's see some S_ _ try to top that one!"  That year, Ruth also, took a little time off to play himself in a silent movie. (shown above)
