Today in History
During the August 28th,1963 March on Washington, the government expected the worst and arranged to have nearly 20,000 troops on standby should the day’s march get unruly. Local liquor stores were ordered to stay closed that day, an event that hadn’t occurred since Prohibition.

None of these measures were necessary, however, as the day was entirely peaceful.
