On July 20, 1988, Die Hard, an action film starring Bruce
Willis as wisecracking New York City cop John McClane,
opened in theaters across the United States.

A huge box-office hit, the film established Willis as a movie
star and spawned three sequels. Die Hard also became
Hollywood shorthand for describing the plot of other
actions films, as in “Speed is Die Hard on a bus.”

Bruce Willis (70) was spotted in public for the second time
since announcing his battle with frontotemporal dementia
and aphasia, on January 22.

In addition to his radio career, Gearing once served as a magistrate.

At the Wesleyan Chapel in Seneca Falls, New York, a
woman’s rights convention—the first ever held in the
United States—convened with almost 200 women in
attendance.

The convention was organized by Lucretia Mott and
Elizabeth Cady Stanton, two abolitionists who met at
the 1840 World Anti-Slavery Convention in London.

As women, Mott and Stanton were barred from the
convention floor, and the common indignation that
this aroused in both of them was the impetus for
their founding of the women’s rights movement in
the United States.
