Story
Largely forgotten for centuries, the ancient Maya were incredible. Their cities across Central and South America featured astonishing pyramids and palaces, while they were also successful farmers and highly creative artists. The Maya were the first people in the Americas to learn how to read and write, and they invented things like rubber, chocolate and chewing gum. They had a deep understanding of astronomy, mathematics and timekeeping, though they also had some horrible, bloodthirsty traditions such as making human sacrifices.

Story
Nat Turner, an enslaved black man, believed he was chosen by God to battle against the evils of slavery. Driven by visions, Turner banded with six others, and on August 22, 1831, his rebellion began with attacks at plantations in Southampton, Virginia. As he and his group moved from plantation to plantation, dozens of enslaved men joined them. Finally, the local militia put an end to their movement, arresting and hanging many of the men involved.

Story
By December of 1773, American colonists had grown increasingly frustrated. Among their complaints was that the British government had imposed a tea tax on colonists. The Americans objected because it was taxation without representation—that is, they had no say in who was elected to parliament. As tensions grew, plans formed to protest the tax by pouring hundreds of containers of tea into the Boston Harbor. One of the first acts of protest in America, the Boston Tea Party helped spark America’s fight for independence.

Story
Florence, 1469, en pleine Renaissance. Mais qui est donc cet apprenti qui ne tient pas en place dans l'atelier d'Andrea Verrochio ? C'est Léonard de Vinci, peintre précoce, qui bientôt surpassera son maître. Léonard se passionne aussi pour la sculpture, l'ingénierie... Il peint des chefs-d'oeuvre, comme la Joconde, et invente des machines incroyables. Ce touche-à-tout que les puissants d'Europe se disputent, gardera jusqu'à la fin un esprit libre, une curiosité insatiable et une inventivité hors du commun qui en font l'un des génies les plus brillants de notre Histoire.

Story
Riesige Städte, gewaltige Pyramiden und die berühmten Goldschätze: Das Reich der Azteken gehörte zu den größten Zivilisationen der Weltgeschichte – voller Wunder und voller Grauen. Montezuma, der Gottkönig, herrschte über Millionen und opferte den Göttern das Blut seiner Gefangenen. Doch Montezuma wurde von düsteren Vorahnungen gepeinigt. Und als die fremden Heere aus dem fernen Spanien an der Küste Südamerikas landeten, auf der Jagd nach Gold und Macht, war es für Montezumas Reich der Anfang vom Ende.

Story
On June 19, 1865, the 250,000 enslaved people of Texas learned they were free, ending slavery in the United States. This day was soon to be memorialized with the dedication of a park in Houston. The park was called Emancipation Park, and the day it honored would come to be known as Juneteenth. In the voice and memory of the park itself—its fields and pools, its protests and cookouts, and, most of all, its people—the 150-year story of Emancipation Park is brought to life.
