She was the pioneer of modern dance. A 'revolutionist' and feminist who brought new ideas to movement without a corset or restrictive clothing. She created a new and modern way of dancing by incorporating the ancient styles of Greece in both movement and clothing. She was also known for famously dancing barefoot!

M$Anyone who has followed American politics and our history has heard of the Kennedys. Today the first ever memoir by a Kennedy was released... ''True Compass'' by Ted Kennedy
Senator Edward Kennedy died just last month, but spent the last five years of his life putting his thoughts and emotions down for the world to share. He asked that it not be released until after his death, and even his own sons were surprised by the content.
In this autobiography, he wrote of the emotional upheaval he went through following the assassinations of his brothers, President John F Kennedy and Senator Robert Kennedy and gave a glimpse of what was really going on in the private world of his mind, while he was showing a stoic face to the world at large.
You can read more about it at the Mahalo page for the Ted Kennedy Memoir, and watch a video interview with his sons from the Today show this morning.

I think the Kennedy family has been so significant to American politics, it could have its own timeline.
The Kennedys Timeline
and it would be ongoing, since we still have very visual examples of Kennedys now, from Maria Shriver to Representative Patrick Kennedy... they are still very much a part of our ongoing political scene.
I also noticed you don't have any kind of timeline for politics... things like the first black President certainly deserve a place on a timeline, whether it is a Presidential Timeline or American Political Timeline. Lots of firsts and significant events that could be listed there.

@lindalstcyr - After looking at your answer, I pulled up some links to see some lighthouse pictures. I found this link
http://www.lighthousefriends.com/light.asp?ID=473
that talks about the tragic death of Mr. Worthylake who drowned! It also says:
"A young Benjamin Franklin wrote a poem about it entitled “The Lighthouse Tragedy” and sold copies of it on the streets."
Thanks for showing me something new today!

This is a great answer @domr94!
I started poking around since I wanted to know the year (1959), and I came across this 'newsreel' about the event. I like the end where the announcer says
"Moscow shot for the moon... and scored a bulls eye!"
(thought you might like to see the video too!)
The source you provided says September 13th
William Mckinley killed by Leon Frank Czolgosz with a pistol. As czolgosz grabbed and beat by angry people gathered , willian Mckinley called out "Boys! Don't let them hurt him(czolgosz)!".

To this day Diego de Vargas is revered as the most prominent governor and Spanish nobleman and now perceived great recolonizer. The time between 1680 and 1710 was a time of extremes of cultural diversity and upheaval in New Mexico and this governor played the crucial role.
** There is room for interpretation of the word "recolonizer" depending on which side of the "recolonization" you were on.

On September 14 2009, an audio message from Osama Bin Laden emerged. It has been months since the last message from Bin Laden, and he has only released audio messages since.
Part of the content of the audio message:
"To the American people, this is my message to you: a reminder of the reasons behind 9/11 and the wars and the repercussions that followed and the way to resolve it," the message said.
"From the beginning, we have stated many times ... that the cause of our disagreement with you is your support of your allies, the Israelis, who are occupying our land in Palestine. Your stance along with some other grievances are what led us to carry out the events of 9/11."
Obama was "a vulnerable man who will not be able to stop the war, as he promised, but instead he will drag it to the maximum possible extent," the message said.

Hi @tsweetz - and welcome to Mahalo!
I didn't know anything about 'Old Tom Morris' until I saw your entry!
I hope you continue to participate in the daily history thread!
Pointers: Pick one cool event (both of your were cool by the way...) and give a little more information or reflection on the event.
(I found some old footage of Mr. Morris on YouTube to add to your answer)
Glad to see a new face around here!
The story behind his inspiration to write came about when Key, being a lawyer, was assigned to negotiate for the release of a certain elderly doctor named William Beanes, who was captured by the British forces after the burning of Washington, D.C. Although the release came through, Beanes and Key were not allowed to leave for Baltimore as they overheard plans of an oncoming battle. Key was forced to stay overnight on a ship while Fort McHenry, one of the forts surrounding Baltimore, was being shelled.
At dawn, Key was surprised to see the flag still proudly flying amidst the destruction. When he finally finished the four stanzas, he gave it to his brother-in-law and it eventually made its way to print with the title, "The Defence of Fort McHenry." In time, it was matched with the tune of "Anacreon in Heaven" and in time was adopted as the country's national anthem with its new title, The Star-Spangled Banner."

M$Academy Award-winning American film star Grace Kelly focused international attention on Monaco and bolstered its reputation as a glamorous playground for the wealthy when she became Princess Grace of Monaco.
Grace Patricia Kelly was born in Philadelphia. In 1952, she starred with Gary Cooper in the western High Noon. In 1954, she won an Academy Award for her role in The Country Girl. High Society, a musical version of The Philadelphia Story, and The Swan were released in 1956. That same year she retired from films to marry Prince Rainier III of Monaco.

Thats good, welcome to Mahalo, thanks for your answer, remember to add the link from where you got the source (instead of just the name) - and remember our Copy and Pasting on Mahalo guidelines
Looked for the URL in my browser, but it was an Ask search, and there was no link. Sorry! Normally would have pasted same. I'll be more diligent next time. Anything I used, I rewrote and organized so nothing was a slam dunk.

@tdware82... either you are very well read and have a photographic memory =)
or you copied this from somewhere.
I'd like to welcome you to Mahalo and let you in on a little bit of what makes us different from other answers sites. At Mahalo, we want to hear what YOU know. If you learn something through research, we want you to tell us about it in your own words, then cite the reference you used to learn what you have shared.
In case you haven't seen it yet, we have a page just about copy and paste practices. Just click the link to learn how it works.
Other sites just spout the information... here we learn and share and give credit to the references we use.
I'm glad to see you've joined us, and I look forward to seeing more of your answers. I can tell you know how to do the research just by the answer you've given... and I'm excited to see how you grow from here.
We value every single answer here... and every single member.
So, welcome again... and I'm sure I'll see you around. =)
Some additional information since you mentioned Isadora Duncan.
I am an avid collector of french art glass especially of the 1920s thru 1930s.
My favorite among those who produced works during this period is Marius Ernest Sabino.
Sabino developed a method of incorperating gold into molten glass during the molding process.
this method is still a tightly guarded family secret and nobody has been able to duplicate the process.
Sabino was infatuiated with Isadora Duncan and was emotionally devastated when he learned of her death while she was holidaying in Nice. It was reported that one of her trademark flowing scarves flew into the wheel of her speeding sports car strangling her to death.
Now no source has every verified it,but rumors and certain public circumstances have suggested that Sabino and Isadora had a secret love affair.
In 1930 Sabino personally created a very limited number( he never recorded just how many) of statuettes to commemerate this fasinating woman and to immortalize her in his glass.It is said that Sabino dismissed all of his workers for a number of days with double their pay so that he could create these pieces alone.
I have been collecting Pieces of Sabino's work for nearly 40 years and have a rather extensive collection. My Isadora has been one of my prize pieces since i was able to aquire about 30 years ago.
I'm including a picture of my piece that I recently took for insurance purposes, hope you enjoy it.

Both Sabino and Duncan are very interesting people from that period in history and well worth learning more about their lifes.
Here are a couple of links for anyone interested.

That was an interesting article. Thanks @shadowbear. As a child, I loved watching the movie Isadora with Vanessa Redgrave.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063141/
The critics now give it very mixed (more negative) reviews.
Maybe now there can be another (better) tribute on film of her life.
To me she was as much a pioneer of women's rights as she was a dancer!
