THESE PAST EVENTS MADE NEWS HISTORY
THE FIRST STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS
On January 8, 1790, President George Washington delivered
the first State of the Union address to the assembled Congress
in New York City.
Washington began by congratulating North Carolina’s recent
decision to join the federal republic.
North Carolina had rejected the Constitution in July 1788
because it lacked a bill of rights. Under the terms of the
Constitution, the new government acceded to power after
only 11 of the 13 states accepted the document.
By the time North Carolina ratified in November 1789, the
first Congress had met, written the Bill of Rights and
dispatched them for review by the states.

JFK’S ADDRESS ON CUBAN CRISIS IN 1962

In a televised speech of extraordinary gravity, President John F.
Kennedy announced on October 22, 1962 that U.S. spy planes
have discovered Soviet missile bases in Cuba.
These missile sites—under construction but nearing completion —housed medium-range missiles capable of striking a number
of major cities in the United States, including Washington, D.C.
Kennedy announced that he was ordering a naval “quarantine”
of Cuba to prevent Soviet ships from transporting any more
offensive weapons to the island and explained that the United
States would not tolerate the existence of the missile sites
currently in place.
The president made it clear that America would not stop short
of military action to end what he called a “clandestine, reckless
and provocative threat to world peace.”
