This Day in History, June 4th

Astral projecting ourselves back in time to discover exciting events on today’s date, in 1411, King Charles VI granted a monopoly for the ripening of Roquefort cheese to the people of Roquefort-sur-Soulzon – if it’s not made in Roquefort, it’s just Sparkling Cheddar. The MS St. Louis, or Voyage of the Damned, carrying 963 Jewish refugees attempting to escape persecution in Germany, was denied permission to land in Florida, and in Tiananmen Square on this day in 1989 absolutely nothing happened, nobody died, very normal, average day. Plus birthdays for King George III, Angelina Jolie, Kasey Chambers and Michelle Phillips.
