Elderly Wyatt Earp" Photographic Print for Sale by PatSeg | Redbubble


Nearly 50 years after the famous gunfight at the O.K. Corral,
Wyatt Earp died quietly in Los Angeles at the age of 80.

The Earp brothers had long been competing with the Clanton-
McClaury ranching families for political and economic control
of Tombstone,
Arizona, and the surrounding region.

On October 26, 1881, the simmering tensions finally boiled
over into violence, and Wyatt, his brothers Virgil and Morgan,
and his close friend, Doc Holliday, killed three men from the
Clanton and McLaury clans in a 30-second shoot-out on a
Tombstone street near the O.K. Corral (below).

FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN CABINET MEMBER

On this day, a historic Cabinet nomination | Constitution Center

On January 13, 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson appointed
the first African American cabinet member, making Robert C.
Weaver
head of the Department of Housing and Urban

Development
(HUD). The agency that develops and
implements national housing policy and enforces fair
housing laws.
 

In keeping with his vision for a Great Society, Johnson
sought to improve race relations and eliminate urban
blight.

As many of the country’s African Americans lived in run-
down inner-city areas, appointing Weaver was an attempt
to show his African American constituency that he meant
business on both counts.
