Welcome to ON THIS DAY! Each day, we'll look at a few moments from history and popular culture. We'll show you where you can rediscover classic movies and music, or read more about great moments in history.

	On this day in 1897, John Philip Sousa's "The Stars and Stripes Forever" was performed for the first time. It was declared the National March of the United States by Congress in 1987. Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops perform "The Stars and Stripes Forever" and other popular marches on this collection, available for streaming or download at Freegal.
	Also on this day in 1897, jazz musician Sidney Bechet was born. His clarinet and saxophone playing was marked by an unusually wide vibrato, and his turbulent personal life kept him from reaching the level of success he deserved until late in his life. A collection of his most popular recordings is available for streaming at Hoopla.
	And on this day in 1925, Virginia Woolf's novel Mrs. Dalloway was published. It depicts one day in the life of a woman in London's high society. And it's available to be enjoyed in whatever format you prefer: print, audiobook on CD, e-book, e-audio, or even on DVD, in a film adaptation starring Vanessa Redgrave.
