That same date also marks a pivotal political moment: in 2016, Hillary Clinton became the first woman nominated by a major U.S. party for president, signaling a historic shift. Looking back, 1952 saw Adlai Stevenson, then Illinois governor, reluctantly accept the Democratic nomination for president, promising a fierce campaign before losing the election. Meanwhile, in 1964, Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa was convicted in Chicago on fraud and conspiracy charges tied to the union’s pension fund, part of a turbulent legal saga. And for a festive twist, 1985 launched Old St. Patrick’s Church’s legendary “World’s Largest Block Party,” a beloved neighborhood tradition that lasted decades until its final celebration in 2020.
