Happy Sunday, February 14th and happy National Organ Donor Day! Consider donating organs, blood, tissue, bone marrow or platelets today! On this day, 54 years ago, Aretha Franklin first recorded her famous rendition ‘Respect'. Frederick Douglass, the national leader of the abolitionist movement, was born 203 years ago today! And Saint Valentine of Rome was executed by the Roman Empire on this day (probably) 1751 years ago... perhaps.
