This day in History through the years

I saw a post that mentioned that today was the day that America dropped the Atomic-bomb in Japan in 1945, so I thought of all the other things that happened that day as well, in other years. 1787- US constitution draft was debated in Philadelphia 1806- Holy Roman empire went out of existence 1825- Bolivia got independence 1890- First use of the electric chair 1928- Andy Warhol was born 1962- Jamaica became an independent dominion under the British commonwealth 1965- Lyndon B. Johnson, president of the US, signed the voting rights act 1978- The Pope (VI) died 1998- Bill Clinton's mistress testified over their affair 2005- Mother, Cindy Sheehan, held a weeks-long protest, over the death of her son in Iraq, outside of President Bush's ranch in Texas I hope you enjoyed reflecting on the past, though some of it was not so pleasant.
