This week in history: the first edition of Roget’s Thesaurus is published, and a tweak to the harpsichord becomes the world’s first piano. Also: legendary writers Harper Lee and Gwendolyn Brooks are born, and the (often-imitated) work of an inventive 19th-century African-American engineer inspires the phrase “the real McCoy.”
97.9 The Hill WCHL and Chapelboro.com are your headquarters for local news and local voices in Chapel Hill-Carrboro. Every Thursday morning, local historian Scott Washington joins 97.9 The Hill’s Aaron Keck for “History Matters,” a look back at notable events and significant figures from this week in history, ranging from pioneers to writers to inventors to civil rights champions and more, locally, nationally, and beyond.
