Susan B. Anthony (February 15, 1820 – March 13, 1906)

Susan B. Anthony was an American social reformer and
women’s rights activist who played a pivotal role in the
women’s suffrage movement. Born into a Quaker family
committed to social equality, she collected anti-slavery
petitions at the age of 17. In 1856, she became the New
York state agent for the American Anti-Slavery Society.

The U.S. State Department angrily accused the Soviet Union of
shooting down an unarmed T-39 Sabreliner aircraft of the United
States Air Force (similar to above) while on a training mission
over Erfurt, East Germany, by a MiG-19 jet fighter of the Soviet
Air Force. Three U.S. officers aboard the plane were killed in the
incident.

According to the U.S. military, the jet became disoriented by a
violent storm that led the plane to veer nearly 100 miles off
course.

The Soviet attack on the plane provoked angry protests from
the Department of State and various congressional leaders,
including Senator Hubert H. Humphrey, who charged that the
Soviets had intentionally downed the plane “to gain the
offensive” in the aggressive Cold War maneuvering.

For their part, the Soviets refused to accept U.S. protests and
responded that they had “all grounds to believe that this was
not an error or mistake…It was a clear intrusion.”
