On This Day In History

The app, On This Day In History, is an app that lists important historical events that happened on today's date. It a calendar that you can use to pick what day it is, and from there it lists things that happened on that day. It lists events from most recent to oldest, and even includes birthdays for famous people, as well as when famous people died. Today in history, 12/5, includes the formation of the AFL-CIO labor union in 1955, the ratification of the 21st amendment in 1933, and the day Charles IX became king of France in 1560, among others. Famous birthdays include Morgan Freeman, Margaret Cho, and JJ Cale. Famous deaths include Nelson Mandela, Shoeless Joe Jackson, and Claude Monet. Each event or figure can be clicked, which brings you to its or their Wikipedia page. I check this app everyday to find something interesting to read about. I really enjoy this app and think you will too!
