It is Thursday, June 12, 2025, marking the 163rd day of the year with 202 days remaining.

Historical Events on this Day:

On June 12, 2016, a tragic incident unfolded at Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, where a gunman took the lives of 49 individuals and injured 53 others in what was then considered the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history. The shooter, Omar Mateen, declared his allegiance to the Islamic State group before being killed by the police after a three-hour standoff.

Other Significant Events:

In 1939, the Baseball Hall of Fame was inaugurated in Cooperstown, New York.

In 1942, Anne Frank, a young German-Jewish girl residing in Amsterdam, received a diary for her 13th birthday, just before her family sought refuge from the Nazis.

In 1963, civil rights advocate Medgar Evers, aged 37, was fatally shot outside his residence in Jackson, Mississippi. The perpetrator, Byron De La Beckwith, was later convicted of Evers’ murder in 1994.

In 1964, Nelson Mandela and seven other anti-apartheid activists were sentenced to life imprisonment for acts of sabotage against South Africa’s apartheid regime.

In 1967, the U.S. Supreme Court, in the case of Loving v. Virginia, invalidated state laws that banned interracial marriages, deeming them unconstitutional under the Fourteenth Amendment.

In 1987, President Ronald Reagan, while visiting Berlin, urged Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev to “tear down this wall” in reference to the Berlin Wall.

In 1991, Russians participated in their first-ever presidential election, resulting in victory for Boris Yeltsin.

In 1994, Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman were tragically murdered outside Simpson’s residence in Los Angeles, leading to a highly publicized trial where O.J. Simpson, Nicole’s ex-husband, was acquitted of the crimes in a criminal court but found liable in a civil lawsuit.
