It’s time for “this date in history.” On February 12, 1809, the sixteenth President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, was born. He is the most written about president, with estimates of at least 15,000 books having been written about him. Also on this date in 1975, the first US state university opened – the University of North Carolina. February 12th is also the birthday of basketball player Bill Russell, one of the greatest centers in NBA history and the first black coach of a major professional American sports team, the Boston Celtics who he played for prior to coaching. Also on this date, the first classic “monster” movie Dracula debuted in 1931 and Superman first appeared in Action Comics #1. Thanks for listening to this date in history.
