In 1926, by the time he was 26 years old, on November 15th, NBC was founded. It was the U.S.'s first major broadcast network.

In 1965, by the time he was 65 years old, from August 11 to 16, riots broke out in Watts, a Black section of Los Angeles.

The National Guard was called in to help the LA police quell rioting.
