June 26th On this day:   Signing of the United Nations Charter (1945): On this day in 1945, representatives from 50 countries came together in San Francisco to sign the United Nations Charter. This landmark event marked a significant step towards global cooperation and peacekeeping in the wake of World War II.   John F. Kennedy's 'Ich bin ein Berliner' Speech (1963): President John F. Kennedy delivered his iconic "Ich bin ein Berliner" speech on this day in 1963, in West Berlin. This declaration of solidarity with West Berliners in the face of the Berlin Wall became a symbol of US commitment to freedom during the Cold War. Same-Sex Marriage Ruling by the Supreme Court (2015): The U.S. Supreme Court, in the landmark case of Obergefell v. Hodges, legalized same-sex marriage across all 50 states on this day in 2015. This ruling marked a significant step forward for LGBTQ+ rights in the United States. I hope these historical tidbits add a dash of intrigue and thought to your day.
