The Cuyahoga River before the EPA – it caught on fire 6/22/69

The Cuyahoga River caught on fire in 1969.

#ResistanceRootsToday in history, 1969: The heavily polluted Cuyahoga River catches fire due to trapped debris and oil slicks, likely ignited by a passing train. It was not unusual, extinguished quickly and caused little damage, but it became a symbol for the Clean Water movement. /1
