Each of the following events happened on September 8. Your challenge is to put them in the order in which they occurred by year, earliest to latest. Answers at the bottom!

• A) The Oprah Winfrey Show is broadcast nationally for the first time. The daytime TV talk show quickly grows in popularity, eventually turning Winfrey into one of the most influential and wealthy people in show business.
• B) President Gerald Ford pardons his disgraced predecessor, Richard M. Nixon, for any crimes he may have committed or participated in while in office. Ford would later defend this action before Congress by saying he wanted to end the national divisions created by Nixon’s Watergate scandal.
• C) The sculpture David, a 17-foot-tall, 12,000-pound marble bust of the biblical figure created by Michelangelo Buonarroti, is unveiled to the public in Florence, Italy.
• D) Star Trek premieres on NBC. The series would last just three seasons due to low ratings, but later finds new life in syndication and grows to become one of the longest-running and highest-grossing media franchises ever.

Hint: The Starship Enterprise has had 2 captains (James T. Kirk and Jean-Luc Picard)
