97.9 The Hill WCHL and Chapelboro.com are your headquarters for local news and local voices in Chapel Hill-Carrboro. Every Thursday morning, local historian Scott Washington joins 97.9 The Hill’s Aaron Keck for “History Matters,” a look back at notable events and significant figures from this week in history, ranging from pioneers to writers to inventors to civil rights champions and more, locally, nationally, and beyond.

This week, Scott and Aaron mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day – though what the “D” actually stands for is still a bit of a mystery. Also: the Bill of Rights is proposed, the 19th Amendment is ratified, Homer Plessy challenges racial segregation, and – one of Scott’s favorite stories – the shopping cart is invented at an Oklahoma grocery store.
