Hi! I'd like to be added to the publication.

My favourite historical figure is Leif Erikson. Everybody knows Christopher Columbus or Vaso De Gama, yet not so many know about Erikson who managed to sail to the Eastern Coast of North America centuries before Columbus did.

To answer the question, we shouldn't judge the past from today's lens but we ought to learn from what has happened in order to avoid similar mistakes. Unfortunately, we don't often do that.
