What happened on Wednesday June 22, 1960?

Here's what happened on June 22, 1960:

• Disappearance of Civil Rights Activists On June 22, 1960, three young civil rights activists - Andrew Goodman, Michael Schwerner, and James Chaney - disappeared in Neshoba County, Mississippi. These activists were working to register African American voters during the height of the Civil Rights Movement. Their disappearance, which was later revealed to be a racially motivated murder by members of the Ku Klux Klan, became a watershed moment in the struggle for racial equality in the United States, drawing national attention to the violent resistance against civil rights efforts.
• Quebec General Election of 1960 The Quebec general election of 1960 marked a pivotal moment in Canadian political history. The ruling Union nationale, led by Antonio Barrette, was decisively defeated by the Quebec Liberal Party under Jean Lesage's leadership. This electoral shift signaled the beginning of the 'Quiet Revolution', a transformative period that would fundamentally reshape Quebec's social, political, and cultural landscape, moving away from its traditionally conservative and religiously-dominated governance towards a more secular, progressive, and self-determined society.
