Clay knocks out Liston February 25, 1964 On February 25, 1964, 22 year old Cassius Clay shocks the odds makers by dethroning world heavyweight boxing champion Sonny Liston in a seventh round technical knockout. The dreaded Liston, who had twice demolished former champ Floyd Patterson in one round, was an 8-to-1 favorite. However, Clay predicted victory, boasting that he would “float like a butterfly, sting like a bee” and knock out Liston in the eighth round. The fleet footed youngster needed less time to make good on his claim. Liston, complaining of an injured shoulder, failed to answer the seventh round bell. A few moments later, a new heavyweight champion was proclaimed. Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. was born in Louisville, Kentucky in 1942. He started boxing when he was 12 and by age 18 had amassed a record of over 100 wins in amateur competition. In 1959, he won the International Golden Gloves heavyweight title and in 1960 a gold medal in the light heavyweight category at the Summer Olympic Games in Rome. Clay turned professional after the Olympics and went undefeated in his first 19 bouts, earning him the right to challenge Sonny Liston, who had defeated Patterson in 1962 to win his title. The descendant of a runaway Kentucky slave, Clay rejected his given name and became Mohammad Ali after joining the Nation of Islam, an organization with a concept of racial segregation. He often spoke of the importance of the Muslim religion in his life. In 1984, Ali was diagnosed with pugilistic Parkinson’s syndrome and has suffered a slow decline of his motor functions ever since. He celebrated his 70th birthday January 17. Watson and Crick discover chemical structure of DNA February 28, 1953 Cambridge University scientists James D. Watson and Frances H. C. Crick announce that they have determined the double-helix structure of DNA, the molecule containing human genes. Though DNA -short for deoxyribonucleic acid- was discovered in 1869, its crucial role in determining genetic inheritance wasn’t demonstrated until 1943. In the early 1950s, Watson and Crick were only two of many scientists working on figuring out the structure of DNA. On the morning of February 28, they determined that the structure of DNA was a double-helix polymer, or a spiral of two DNA strands, each containing a long chain of monomer nucleotides, wound around each other. According to their findings, DNA replicated itself by separating into individual strands, each of which became the template for a new double-helix Watson later said that Crick announced the discovery by walking into the nearby Eagle Pub and blurting out “we have found the secret of life.” The truth wasn’t that far off, as Watson and Crick had solved a fundamental mystery of science - how it was possible for genetic instructions to be held inside organisms and passed from generation to generation. Watson and Crick won the Nobel Prize in 1962.

Kentucky was basically uninhabited in the early 1700s, and the American Indians had treaty rights to hunt the land. One of the Shawneeʼs most celebrated chiefs, Blackhoof, was born in a village near what is now Winchester, Kentucky. When Daniel Boone and his early party tried to settle in Kentucky, the Shawnee and Cherokee, along with Lenape and Mingo, attacked a scouting and forage party that included Booneʼs son. The conflict sparked the beginning of what was known as Dunmoreʼs War in 1774. The escalating violence between British colonists moving into land south of the Ohio River (West Virginia and Kentucky) and the Indians resulted in successive attacks by Indian hunting and war bands against settlers. The war ended that same year with the Indians losing their rights to hunt that area and agreeing to recognize the Ohio River as the boundary between Indian lands and the British colonies.
