10 Days that Changed America
“… the dates that truly made a difference aren’t always the ones we know by heart; frequently, they’ve languished in dusty oblivion. The 10 days that follow — obscure as some are — changed American history. (In some cases, they are notable for what didn’t happen rather than what did.)”

This is a really cool article. I feel connected to US history at the moment. Two of the listed 10 events I feel close to. The first is 1902, the movie, because it’s about film. And the second is “Revolt of the Nerd”, because I grew up in the Silicon Valley and I didn’t know that september 18th was the birth of the tech industry here. Yay for history!
