Momentous Events from the year you were born

Malcolm X shot dead and Winston Churchill departed
 
On July 20th, Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon, one of the most historic cultural events in 1969.

I must be a year older than you then (born 1968), so for me its Apollo 8: first around the moon (Borman, Lovell, Anders) & the assassinations of MLK and RFK.

Oh and City won the league just a few weeks after I was born.

The Beatles had the top 5 singles in the US billboard chart in the week I was born.
In the Assize Court at Buckingham, UK, sentences totalling 307 years are passed on twelve men who stole £2,600,000 in used bank notes, after holding up the night train from Glasgow to London in August 1963 – a heist that becomes known as the Great Train Robbery.
