What do you do when your life has fallen apart? Fifteen hundred years ago, a Roman nobleman named Boethius asked this question as he was sitting in a prison cell waiting to die, accused—probably unjustly—of treason.

From nineteenth-century abolitionism to Black Lives Matter today, progressive social movements have been at the forefront of social change.
