On This Day 1685: Johann Sebastian Bach is Born          

Dear Readers,     

 

J.S. Bach was born March 21, 1685, in Eisenach, Thuringia. During his lifetime he was better known as a virtuoso organist, harpsichordist and organ builder than as a composer. It wasn't until the 19th century that the world began popularizing his work and building his reputation as one of the greatest composers of all time. Encyclopedia Brittanica called this effort, "the first conspicuous example of the deliberate exhumation of old music, accompanied by biographical and critical studies." Read our full profile.

On March 21, 1965, 3,200 civil rights demonstrators began a march from Selma, Ala., to Montgomery to protest discriminatory voting laws. The march came to weeks after "Bloody Sunday," when peaceful marchers in Selma were attacked by state and local police. Read the full article.

A birthday that was celebrated over the weekend: Fred Rogers was born March 20, 1928. Read our full profile that includes links to some classic video of Mr. Rogers in action.
