June 2 marks the anniversary of several notable historical events. In 1941, baseball star Lou Gehrig, famously known as the 'Iron Horse,' succumbed to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in New York at the age of 37. This date also witnessed President Grover Cleveland's marriage to 21-year-old Frances Folsom in the White House in 1886, making him the first president to marry there. In 1924, the Indian Citizenship Act was enacted, granting full citizenship to Native Americans born within U.S. territories. The crowning of Queen Elizabeth II occurred on this date in 1953, at Westminster Abbey, following the death of her father, King George VI. Other significant events include the landing of the U.S. space probe Surveyor 1 on the moon in 1966, Timothy McVeigh's conviction for the Oklahoma City bombing in 1997, and the second post-apartheid election in South Africa in 1999.
