There are five moments in history your textbooks deliberately left out, and they changed

everything you knew. These are earthquakes that reshaped civilization while we were told to look

the world into darkness. From that despair, Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein,

inventing science fiction by candlelight. Number four. The Christmas Truce. Enemies shook hands

and played soccer in no man's land. For one day, humanity defeated war.

Then the generals ordered them back to the killing fields. Number three.

While we watched the moon landing, Fred Hampton was building a rainbow coalition.
