History has a way of remembering the heroes and villains, but sometimes it gets the story completely wrong.

Others spent their lives being dismissed, only to be proven right long after the damage was done.
In a fascinating Reddit discussion, users shared examples of people who were treated unfairly by society, and their stories are a reminder of just how wrong the court of public opinion can be.
