1898 Paul Robeson - Singer (Ol' Man River) and actor (The Emperor Jones, Show Boat, Othello)

I loved Show Boat and with him singing Ol' Man River, was thrilling to hear.

1939 75-thousand people gathered at Washington's Lincoln Memorial to hear black singer Marian Anderson perform. She had been denied use of Constitutional Hall by the Daughters of the American Revolution

I'll bet they were sorry.

1963 Sir Winston Churchill, at the age of 88, became the first person to be given honorary US citizenship

I wonder if his American mother was an influence.

2005 Prince Charles married Camilla Parker Bowles. Their wedding took place at a civil ceremony at the Guildhall in Windsor, followed by a service of prayer and dedication in St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle

Sad about what's going on with Charles now. I hope he is able to endure the cancer treatment so his reign could last a little longer. He had to wait a long, long time to get there. (As much as I don't like him, I don't wish him harm or ill will.)
