Good Morning!

On this day in 1788 almost the entire city of New Orleans, LA, was destroyed by fire.

In 1851 the Yosemite Valley was discovered in California.

In 1965 more than 3,000 civil rights demonstrators led by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. began a march from Selma to Montgomery, AL.

And in 1980, on the TV show “Dallas”, J.R. Ewing was shot.

Today is Pres. Grover Cleveland’s birthday.

Fun Fact

Stephen Grover Cleveland was the 22nd and 24th President of the United States. Cleveland is the only president to serve two non-consecutive terms and therefore is the only individual to be counted twice in the numbering of the presidents. Wikipedia
