  6. After two previous marches marked by assaults and other obstacles, civil rights activists, including Martin Luther King, Jr., complete a 4-day 50-mile march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, under the protection of federally-mandated troops #OTD in 1965. These marches greatly increased the political pressure that led to the passage of the Voting Rights Act later that year.

  16. Happy Birthday to Walter Rodney, who was born #OTD in Guyana in 1942! After becoming a professor in Jamaica, he was barred from the country for his communist views, a decision which caused riots in his support. He later taught and lectured around the world, especially in Tanzania. His book “How Europe Underdeveloped Africa” made him a towering figure in anti-colonial circles.

  21. M. N. Roy was born #OTD in 1887.

  25. Fred Rogers, the creator and host of “Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood”, was born #OTD in 1928. Rogers realized early on that his greatest potential impact would likely be through television, a new technology at the time.

  33. Bayard Rustin, a key figure in the US Civil Rights movement, was born #OTD in 1912. Because he was gay, he was often relegated to support roles, but he helped organize Freedom Rides and the March on Washington, among many other activities. However, later in life he also took up an anticommunist stance and supported Israel and US imperialism, which we feel shouldn’t escape scrutiny.

  56. Osama bin Laden was born #OTD in 1957. His 9/11 attack targeted the core of US imperialism; finance and military leadership; yet the US state was able to seduce a willing population into feeling personally attacked, leading to a cancerous and potentially terminal growth of the military industrial complex, which might ultimately fulfill bin Laden’s objectives.
