Her greatest triumph came in 1939 with the film "The Wizard of Oz," which introduced the never-to-be forgotten song "Over the Rainbow." Garland's recording of the tune sold over a million copies. She also received a special Academy Award in 1939 for her outstanding performances as a screen juvenile. Her other big musical films included "Meet Me in St. Louis," "Easter Parade" and "A Star is Born." Garland suffered a nervous collapse in 1950, but was able to resume her career the following year. Plagued by health and drug problems, Judy Garland died in London in 1969.

On June 10, 1963, President John F. Kennedy signed into law the Equal Pay Act of 1963, aimed at eliminating wage disparities based on gender. The same day, Kennedy delivered a commencement address at American University in Washington, D.C., in which he declared, "If we cannot end now our differences, at least we can make the world safe for diversity."

On June 10, 1964, the Senate voted to limit further debate on a proposed civil rights bill, shutting off a filibuster by Southern senators. (The Civil Rights Act of 1964 went on to win congressional approval and was signed by President Lyndon Johnson.) The Rolling Stones recorded their 12x5 album at Chess Studios in Chicago. The Stones met bluesmen Willie Dixon and Muddy Waters, two of their idols, at the studios.

U.S.S.R.. drops diplomatic relations with Israel. Academy Award-winning actor Spencer Tracy died in Beverly Hills, Calif., at age 67.

14 years ago in 2004: Singer-musician Ray Charles, known for such hits as "What'd I Say," ''Georgia on My Mind" and "I Can't Stop Loving You," died in Beverly Hills, Calif., at age 73. Charles was a 12-time Grammy-winning singer-pianist who pioneered the blending of country and R&B.
