Another Dark Day: Churchill’s Death in 1965

STORY BY: Ron Baerg
YEAR: 1965
LOCATION: Saskatoon, SK

One of Ron’s most vivid memories from his youth was the death of former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill in 1965, and the amount of TV airtime it received. To Ron, it came in a period of “dark days” where notable political leaders and activists were assassinated, such as John F. Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. Thanks for sharing, Ron.
