Yesterday on my mini post I accidentally blogged about Abraham Lincoln abolishing slavery. However it really happened today, on June 19th. In 1865, about a month since the American Civil War ended, President Abraham Lincoln sign a measure to abolish slavery in all US territories. Other things that have happened today:

It is past Father's Day in this 2013, but 103 years ago, on June 19th, 1910, was the first Father's Day celebration. Father's Day was celebrated to commemorate Mother's Day. It was founded in Spokane, Washington in a local YMCA by Sonora Smart Dodd. Initially, Father's Day did not have great success, but now, many people around the world celebrate it with their loving fathers.

Also happening today, was the approval of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in the Senate. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 outlaws racial, national, ethnic, religious, and gender discrimination. It is one of the many Civil Rights Acts throughout American history.
There were not many very interesting events today, but there are many interesting events that happen tomorrow!
