Good morning — it’s Monday, September 8. Wow, what a day! 😳
Today, we’re diving into the Siege of Leningrad, Michelangelo's David statue, the division of Korea, the birth of Star Trek, the first Miss Black America, the Oprah Winfrey Show's becoming national, and much more. — quick, sharp, and source-clean.
Oh, if you missed last week's Strange Times story, which you can read here, it will surprise you!
