On this day:
- Birth of Helen Keller (1880): Helen Keller, an American author, political activist, and lecturer, was born on this day in 1880. Despite being deaf and blind from an early age, she became a symbol of courage and an advocate for people with disabilities.
- Designation of the First National Monument (1906): President Theodore Roosevelt designated Devils Tower in Wyoming as the first U.S. National Monument on this day in 1906. This paved the way for the preservation of numerous natural and historic landmarks across the nation.
- First Automated Teller Machine (ATM) (1967): On this day in 1967, the world's first ATM was installed in Enfield, London. A little-known actor, Reg Varney, was the first person to withdraw cash, signaling the dawn of a new era in banking and everyday commerce.
Sharing and remembering our history is a crucial part of understanding our present and shaping our future. I hope this glimpse into the past brings added depth to your day.
