Former Heavyweight champion George Foreman’s family
announced his passing Friday. They stated he departed
peacefully surrounded by loved ones. No cause of death
was given. 

Journalist Henry Morton Stanley began his famous search
through Africa for the missing British explorer Dr. David
Livingstone.

In the late 19th century, Europeans and Americans were
fascinated by the continent of Africa. Few did more to
increase Africa’s fame than Livingstone, one of the United
Kingdom’s most famous explorers.

In August 1865, he set out on a planned two-year expedition
to find the source of the Nile River. Livingstone also wanted
to help bring about the abolition of the slave trade, which
was devastating Africa’s population.

Almost six years after his expedition began, little had been
heard from Livingstone. James Gordon Bennett, Jr., editor
of the New York Herald, decided to capitalize on the public’s
craze for news of the explorer. He sent Stanley to lead an
expedition into the African wilderness to find Livingstone
or bring back proof of his death.

On March 21, 1952, Cleveland, Ohio hosted an event now
recognized as history’s first major rock-and-roll show…
the Moondog Coronation Ball.

Breathless promotion on the local radio station. Tickets
selling out in a single day. Thousands of teenagers,
hours before show time, lining up outside the biggest
venue in town.

The “Moondog” in question was the legendary disk jockey
Alan Freed, the self-styled “father of rock and roll” who
was then the host of the enormously popular “Moondog
Show” on Cleveland AM radio station WJW.
