Extra, extra, read all about it.
In 1765 – The British Parliament passes the Stamp Act, a tax on the American colonies. The Act called for many printed items to have a revenue stamp showing the tax had been paid and led to the phrase “no taxation without representation”. The tax was repealed the following year, but colonial resistance set the tone for further resistance to the British, which led to the American Revolution.
In 1958 – The Kentucky Wildcats win the NCAA basketball championship with an 84-72 victory over Seattle in Louisville. It was the fourth of eight titles for the Wildcats and remains the only national championship game appearance for Seattle. Seattle’s Elgin Baylor was named the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player…Temple defeated Kansas State in the 3rd-place game.
In 1975 – Earth, Wind, & Fire is at #1 on Billboard’s soul chart – then known as the Hot Soul Singles chart – for the first of two consecutive weeks with Shining Star. It was the third of 18 Top 10 soul songs for the group and their first of eight soul #1s. In May, the song spent a week at #1 on the Hot 100 and was Billboard’s 7th-biggest song of the year.
