The History Channel updates visitors on historic events throughout world history with “This Day in History.” There were a number of notables for June 13:

1966: “Miranda Rights” are established after the Supreme Court handed down its decision in the case Miranda v. Arizona (1966) that requires all suspects be made aware of their rights before interrogation.

1967: Thurgood Marshall is the first African-American nominated to the Supreme Court of the United States. Marshall was confirmed with a 69-11 in the U.S. Senate on August 30, and sworn in by Chief Justice Earl Warren two days later.

1971: The New York Times published the top-secret Defense Department study of U.S. involvement in Vietnam, the “Pentagon Papers.”
