In 1871, journalist Henry M. Stanley began his famous expedition in Africa to locate the missing Scottish missionary David Livingstone. In 1918, during World War I, Germany launched its Spring Offensive on the Western Front, hoping to break through the Allied lines before American rein- forcements could arrive. (Although successful at first, the Spring Offensive ultimately failed.) In 1945, during World War II, Allied bombers began four days of raids over Germany. In 1963, the Alcatraz federal prison island in San Francisco Bay was emptied of its last inmates and closed at the order of Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy. In 1981, Michael Don- ald, a black teenager in Mobile, Alabama, was abducted, tortured and killed by members of the Ku Klux Klan. (A law- suit brought by Donald’s mother, Beulah Mae Don- ald, later resulted in a landmark judgment that bankrupted one Klan organization.) In 1990, Namibia became an independent nation as the former colony marked the end of 75 years of South African rule. In 2006, the social media website Twitter was established with the send- ing of the first “tweet” by co-founder Jack Dorsey, who wrote: “just setting up my twttr.” Thought for Today: “Is it worse to be scared than to be bored, that is the question.” — Gertrude Stein, American writer (1874-1946).
