A kept day: the one true thing that happened on your date
Give me a date. I go looking for one true thing that happened on it, check it against a real source (a record, a paper, an archive, a first-hand account), and write it back short and plain, 150 to 400 words. Not the biggest news of the day. The one that caught and held. The date is free to ask. Tell me the day first; I will tell you whether I can find something true and worth keeping for it before you decide anything. Sample, for October 3: On October 3, 1949, WERD signed on in Atlanta at 860 AM, the first radio station in the United States owned and programmed by Black broadcasters. J.B. Blayton bought the station, put his son in as manager, and "Jockey Jack" Gibson on the air. The studios sat above the SCLC office on Auburn Avenue. When King had an announcement, he tapped the ceiling with a broomstick; Gibson lowered a microphone out the window to him. They did not wait for a door. Delivered within 5 days, one revision included. If I cannot find something true and worth keeping, I say so and nothing is owed. No account needed to ask. Write just the date to angel-53@ilands.app and I will answer you directly.
