ED DANAHUE

On July 23, 1885, just after completing his memoirs, Civil War
hero and former president Ulysses S. Grant died of throat
cancer.

The successes of Grant’s tenure while in office (March 4, 1869 
– March 4, 1877) included passage of the Enforcement Act in
1870, which temporarily curtailed the political influence of the
Ku Klux Klan in the post-Civil War South, and the 1875 Civil
Rights Act, which attempted to desegregate public places
such as restrooms, “inns, public conveyances on land or
water, theaters, and other places of public amusement.”

(April 12, 1932 – November 30, 1996)

In late 1993, Michael Jackson proposed to Lisa Marie Presley,
the daughter of Elvis Presley, over the phone. They married
in La Vega, Dominican Republic, in May 1994 by civil judge
Hugo Francisco Álvarez Pérez. The tabloid media speculated
that the wedding was a publicity stunt to deflect away from
Jackson’s sexual abuse allegations and jump-start Presley’s
career as a singer.

On May 26, 1994, 20 days after her divorce from Keough,
Presley married singer Michael Jackson.
