When I was at school, our history book about world history mostly focused on WWII and WWI. The second half of the century was skimmed through with a few paragraphs that mentioned MLK and other stuff. Even the history books about my location were more detailed. What events could I have missed out on?
I’m familiar mostly with stuff like Malcolm X’s activism, the AIDS panic, the use of lobotomies in the 50s (with Rosemary Kennedy being one of the most notorious cases), etc but I can still see a huge gap in my knowledge due to the aforementioned circumstance.
