 It's June 28th, and this is your Fox Daily Snapshot. Today is International Body Piercing Day. Body modification has been used for many purposes, from self-expression to rites of passage, shock value, and even religious observances. On this day in 1911, Samuel J. Battle becomes the first African-American policeman in New York City at the age of 28. He eventually rose to become the NYPD's first black parole commissioner in 1941.
