Story
In giorno di agosto del 2005 un tir si ferma in un autogrill vicino a Bressanone. Da sotto sbuca un ragazzino. È tramortito, sporco. Si era legato di nascosto all’asse delle ruote posteriori prima che il tir si imbarcasse su una nave in partenza dalla Grecia. Poi Venezia, l’autostrada, quattro ore in¬finite. Molti altri erano morti così. Quel ragazzino si chiama Alidad Shiri e ha solo quattordici anni. È arrivato dall’Afghanistan, dove i genitori, una sorella e la nonna erano stati uccisi. Si era rifugiato in Pakistan con il fratello, l’altra sorella e gli zii.

Story
After a deadly attack in South Sudan left six-year-old Achut Deng without a family, she lived in refugee camps for ten years, until a refugee relocation program gave her the opportunity to move to the United States. When asked why she should be given a chance to leave the camp, Achut simply told the interviewer: I want life. But the chance at starting a new life in a new country came with a different set of challenges. Some of them equally deadly. Taught by the strong women in her life not to look back, Achut kept moving forward, overcoming one obstacle after another.

Story
On December 7, 1941—"a date which will live in infamy"—the Japanese navy launched an attack on the American military bases at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The next day, President Franklin Roosevelt declared war on Japan, and the US Army officially entered the Second World War. Three years later, on December 18, 1944, President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, which enabled the Secretary of War to enforce a mass deportation of more than 100,000 Americans to what government officials themselves called "concentration camps." None of these citizens had been accused of a real crime.

Story
Augusta Savage was arguably the most influential American artist of the 1930s. A gifted sculptor, Savage was commissioned to create a portrait bust of W.E.B. Du Bois for the New York Public Library. She flourished during the Harlem Renaissance, and became a teacher to an entire generation of African American artists, including Jacob Lawrence, and would go on to be nationally recognized as one of the featured artists at the 1939 World’s Fair. She was the first-ever recorded Black gallerist, and worked to advance equal rights in the arts. And yet popular history has forgotten her name.
