SCHOOL NEWS: 

It’s time for “this date in history.” On June 5, 1851, “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” was first published as a 40-week serial in the publication The National Era. It was only to run for a few weeks, but Harriet Beecher Stowe’s story became very popular and would become an iconic anti-slavery story. The infamous piece of literature became linked to the anti-slavery attitude in the North en route to the eventual Civil War. On June 5 1944, Allied forces completed final preparations for history’s most famous one day invasion called D-Day. Including many American troops and led by Allied Supreme Commander American General Dwight D. Eisenhower, the June 6th invasion by Allied Nations would mark the beginning of the end to German occupation of Europe and would eventually lead to Germany’s surrender less than one year later. Famous birthdays on this date include Saxophonist Kenny G and actor Mark Wahlberg. Thanks for listening to this date in history.
