This one is rather interesting. Go to Wikipedia and look up your birthday (excluding the year). List three neat facts, two births and one death in your journal, including the year.

June 28 -

Three neato facts:
1919 - The Treaty of Versailles is signed, ending World War I with Germany.
1964 - Malcom X forms the Organization of Afro-American Unity.
1969 - Stonewall riots in New York city mark the beginning of the modern gay rights era.

Two births:
1712 - Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Swiss philosopher (d. 1778)
1932 - Pat Morita, American actor (d. 2005) -- who is now waxing on and off in the afterworld.

One death:
1914 - Franz Ferdinand, Archduke of Austria (assassinated) (b. 1863) I sure do like his music...
