Oprah's Wagon Of Fat
In 1988, Oprah Winfrey walks on stage wearing slim size 10 Calvin Klein blue jeans, a black turtleneck and... wheeling 67 pounds of animal fat piled into a Radio Flyer red wagon. The stunt not only reveals how much weight she lost but shines a light on our country's obsession with fatness proving that diet culture spares no one.

Ellen Comes Out
It's April 30, 1997, and Ellen DeGeneres is about to do something that hasn't been done before, when the title character of her hit sitcom Ellen comes out on primetime television, right after she comes out in real life.

Hurricane Kanye
After Hurricane Katrina decimated New Orleans in 2005, Kanye West goes on NBC's telethon Concert for Hurricane Relief and famously says, "George Bush doesn't care about Black people" to a live national audience. This becomes one of the very first viral moments, but more importantly, a spark that galvanized a generation laying the groundwork for the Black Lives Matter movement.
