FINALE OF A MAJOR SUNDAY TV STAPLE

The Ed Sullivan Show was a launchpad for legends (1948-1971) - Click  Americana

The First Color Episode - Ed Sullivan Show

Twenty-three years after its 1948 premiere, "The Ed Sullivan
Show" had its
final broadcast on June 6, 1971.

For more than two decades, Sullivan’s variety show was the
premiere television showcase for entertainers of all stripes,
including borscht-belt comedians, plate-spinning vaudeville
throwbacks and, most significantly, some of the biggest and
most current names in rock ‘n’ roll.

In its first eight years of existence, there was no such thing as
rock ‘n’ roll to be featured on the program originally called
"Toast of the Town," yet even its first broadcast made music
history when Broadway composers Richard Rodgers and
Oscar Hammerstein II gave the world its first taste of the score
from their upcoming musical, South Pacific.

SCROLLS MIGHT BE OLDER THAN THOUGHT

(FOX NEWS) – The Dead Sea Scrolls may be even older than
researchers thought, according to a new study driven by an
artificial intelligence (AI) model.

A group of researchers from the Netherlands, Italy and Denmark
recently published their findings in the journal PLOS One on
June 4.

The researchers said they developed an AI-based date-prediction
model named Enoch, a nod to
the biblical patriarch of the same
name.

The scrolls have attracted a great amount of interest from both
scholars and the public at large since their discovery.

Robert F. Kennedy, Politician born - African American Registry

Robert Francis Kennedy (November 20, 1925 – June 6, 1968)


Shortly after midnight on June 5, 1968, Senator
Robert Kennedy
was
shot at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles after winning
the California presidential primary.

Immediately after he announced to his cheering supporters that
the country was ready to end its fractious divisions, Kennedy
was shot several times by 24-year-old Palestinian Sirhan Sirhan.

He was pronounced dead a day later, on June 6, 1968.

Sirhan, who was born in Palestine, confessed to the crime
at his trial and received a death sentence on March 3, 1969. 

Since the California State Supreme Court invalidated all
death penalty sentences in 1972, Sirhan has spent the
rest of his life in prison. 

Hubert Humphrey ended up running for the Democrats in
1968, but lost to Nixon.
