IT MADE HISTORY ON THIS DAY
SANDY KOZEL
On this day in 1993, U.S. Federal agents raided the compound of an armed religious cult in Waco, TX. The ATF had planned to arrest the
leader of the Branch Davidians, David Koresh (below) on firearms
charges. Four agents and six Davidians were killed and a 51-day
standoff followed.

(August 17, 1959 – April 19, 1993)
The religious community at Mount Carmel burns to the ground at the
end of a 51 day standoff between David Koresh, Branch Davidians
and the FBI on the property located 10 miles west of Waco, Texas.

RADIO HISTORY MADE ON THIS DAY IN 1921
On this day, two months to the day after its first broadcast, KDKA aired the
first religious service in the history of radio. It was undertaken by Westinghouse
to test its ability to do a remote broadcast far from a radio studio. Pittsburgh’s
Calvary Episcopal Church was chosen because one of the Westinghouse
engineers happened to be a member of the choir and made the arrangements.
The junior pastor, Rev. Lewis B. Whittemore, preached because the senior pastor
was leery of the new medium. The technicians (one a Jew, one Catholic) were
outfitted with choir robes in order to keep them from distracting the congregation.
