March 6
It's March 6th
On this day in In 1943 – Norman Rockwell published "Freedom from Want" in The Saturday Evening Post with a matching essay by Carlos Bulosan as part of the Four Freedoms series.
In 1982 - The Go-Go's "Beauty and the Beat" is #1
In 2017 - Chance the Rapper, who made his debut mixtape, 10 Day, while on a 10-day suspension from school, announces a $1 million donation to the Chicago public schools.
In 2004 - David Crosby is arrested on marijuana and weapons charges in NYC (he's given a $5,000 fine and a conditional discharge).
In 2001 - MTV Cribs visits Redman's two-bedroom pad on Staten Island. Unlike the show's usual ostentatious fare, the rapper's modest crib is a testament to "keeping it real." The highlights are his makeshift doorbell (which is signaled by crossing two exposed wires), a freezer-full of Gorton's fish, and his cousin conked out on his living room floor.

Patrice Smith was negative towards Tom Kennedy's direction and the writing, calling the screenplay "ludicrously illiterate". Smith considered the film to be a pathetic attempt at turning mummy movies into a contemporary Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Fangoria criticized it for its slow pace, ultimately calling it a "time waster."

Sarah Roberts
After Roberts' death, a legend evolved in Peru that she was a vampire. There were many versions of the legend. According to one, in June 1913 Roberts was sentenced to death in East Lancashire after being accused of being a witch, a vampire and a murderer. She was thrown, still alive, into a lead-lined coffin, and vowed to return for vengeance. In another version of the legend, John Roberts travelled around Europe, but no country would allow him to bury Sarah because of her unholiness and promise of vengeance. He then travelled to South America, where he was turned away in Chile and Argentina. One day, a sailor told him take Sarah to Peru, as "everyone knows Peru is the land of witches.” In another version, Sarah Roberts was one of three 'brides of Dracula', along with sisters Andrea and Erica, who were executed in Blackburn and buried by John Roberts in Mexico and Hungary or Panama. In yet another version, she arrived in Peru, gave birth to a son and died six days later. Stories began circulating about a pale-faced foreign woman who stalked the town, feasting on the blood of animals and young children, who became known as the Vampira de Inglaterra. On 9 June 1993, the 80th anniversary of Roberts' death, locals in Pisco feared she would come back to life and take her revenge. It was reported that hundreds of people bought anti-vampire kits, complete with stakes and garlic, before descending on her tombstone to throw holy water and pray and await the resurrection. Pregnant women fled, fearful that Roberts' spirit might try to reincarnate itself in their unborn child.
