The often-overlooked narratives of women, queerfolk, and people of color have shaped and enriched the tapestry of history. Come hear remarkable stories of individuals whose struggles, triumphs, and contributions defied societal norms and odds to leave an indelible mark on the course of history. In under a mile, we cover a century of incredible stories. From a fierce suffragette’s battle to a Chinese woman’s struggle against the misogyny of the 1930s, this tour unveils the strife that shaped our world. Learn of a Japanese man’s fight against racism during WWII (with two happy endings!) and meet a trans man whose medical breakthroughs changed the course of history. Step into the past and discover the untold stories of those who defied the odds, broke boundaries, and challenged the injustices of their time. Learn about how the people who lived through history’s hardest moments fought to rewrite the narrative.
