On this date in 1825, with no candidate claiming a majority in the Electoral College, the House of Representatives votes to elect John Quincy Adams president, although he trails Andrew Jackson in the popular vote.

In the documentary film “Unsilenced,” director Leon Lee tells the story of those who were persecuted and killed by China’s government because they practiced Falun Gong.
