Notably: It was on this day in 1969 that Sen. Ted Kennedy drove off a bridge at Chappaquiddick Island, Mass., killing campaign worker Mary Jo Kopechne. Kennedy swam away and did not report the incident for 10 hours. In less scabrous memory vaults, it is also Nelson Mandela’s birthday (1906), and the day when Nadia Comaneci scored her perfect 10 at the rather bedraggled Montreal Olympics of 1976.

We stand here today as nothing more than a representative of the millions of our people who dared to rise up against a social system whose very essence is war, violence, racism, oppression, repression and the impoverishment of an entire people. I am also here today as a representative of the millions of people across the globe, the anti-apartheid movement, the governments and organisations that joined with us, not to fight against South Africa as a country or any of its peoples, but to oppose an inhuman system and sue for a speedy end to the apartheid crime against humanity. These countless human beings, both inside and outside our country, had the nobility of spirit to stand in the path of tyranny and injustice, without seeking selfish gain. They recognized that an injury to one is an injury to all and therefore acted together in defense of justice and a common human decency. Because of their courage and persistence for many years, we can, today, even set the dates when all humanity will join together to celebrate one of the outstanding human victories of our century.
When that moment comes, we shall, together, rejoice in a common victory over racism, apartheid and white minority rule.
–From Nelson Mandela’s Nobel lecture when he won the 1993 Peace Prize.
