Today in history

I had the privilege of hearing Maya Angelou speak, just a few months before she passed away, it turns out.
That's so cool, John! I always wanted to meet her or at least hear her speak in-person. I knew of her growing up (mostly as a dear friend of Oprah's), but read Caged Bird for a school project in the 11th grade and have loved her ever since. Next month will mark a full decade since her death.
 

Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain died 30 years ago,

but his legacy lives on.

Kurt Cobain, Nirvana frontman and music icon, died April 5, 1994, 30 years ago today.

With Nirvana, Cobain released only three albums during his lifetime over a five-year span, including the RIAA Diamond-certified "Nevermind," making him the face of counterculture and the grunge and alternative movement of the early ‘90s.
Yet despite their brief tenure, Nirvana and its frontman had a profound impact on both rock music and pop culture, which continues more than a generation later.

Death of August Lumière 70 years ago

(Auguste left)
The Lumière brothers Auguste Marie Louis Nicolas Lumière (19 October 1862 – 10 April 1954) and Louis Jean Lumière (5 October 1864 – 6 June 1948),were French manufacturers of photography equipment, best known for their Cinématographe motion picture system and the short films they produced between 1895 and 1905, which places them among the earliest filmmakers.

Their screening of a single film on 22 March 1895 for around 200 members of the Société d'encouragement pour l'industrie nationale (Society for the Development of the National Industry) in Paris was probably the first presentation of projected film. Their first commercial public screening on 28 December 1895 for around 40 paying visitors and invited relations has traditionally been regarded as the birth of cinema. Either the techniques or the business models of earlier filmmakers proved to be less viable than the breakthrough presentations of the Lumières.

^^Yes, you both are correct. My fingers got in the way of my typing :rotflmao:

The Titanic, like most ships of it's era, were not passenger ships like we think of passenger ships today. Their primary purpose was the transportation of mail and cargo from point A to point B; and, if passengers could be accommodated, then they were just considered more cargo.
