the WIKIPEDIA BIRTHDAY meme!
I got tagged by tossino (haha finally got tagged by someone else for once XD) *and didn't just steal the tag*
Go to Wikipedia and type in your birthday (month and day). Then you write down 3 events, 3 births, 3 deaths, 3 holidays, and tag 3 friends. [complete with commentary]
3 events
1965 - Bloody Sunday: A group of 600 civil rights marchers are forcefully broken up in Selma, Alabama. -this is probably the one event on my Birthday that I remember. Of course it happened before I was even born, but seeing as it happened in my state, we'd constantly learn about it in History.
1971 - Sheikh Mujibur Rahman delivers his historic "This time the struggle is for our freedom" speech at Ramna Race Course, calling upon the Bengali people to prepare for the freedom struggle ahead.
1986 - Challenger Disaster: Divers from the USS Preserver locate the crew cabin of Challenger on the ocean floor.
3 births

1977 - Paul Cattermole, British singer, actor and member of pop group S Club
