What Happened On My Birthday: July 23

From a fun Wiki thing I found at Meg's...

List 3 Events that occurred that day:
1904 - Probably the first Ice cream cone was sold at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis, Missouri.
1967 - 12th Street Riot: In Detroit, Michigan, one of the worst riots in United States history begins on 12th Street in the predominantly African American inner city (43 killed, 342 injured and ~1,400 buildings burned).
1984 - Vanessa Williams becomes the first Miss America to resign when she surrenders her crown after nude photos of her appeared in Penthouse magazine.
List 2 Important Birthdays:
(The now infamous) 1940 - Don Imus, American talk radio host
(And the even more infamous) 1973 - Monica Lewinsky, American White House intern
List 1 Death:
1966 - Montgomery Clift, American actor (b. 1920) (One of my favorite actors)
List a Holiday or Observance. (if any):
Roman Empire - Neptunalia held in honor of Neptune (Not sure what's involved there, but it sounds like a good time!)
