Every "Shit Went Down" history post thus far . . .
The daily column “On This Day in History, Shit Went Down” began on April 18, 2020, on Facebook. Tomorrow I’m going to start publishing each post on this Substack, but if you want to read all the old ones, they’re all listed below. Even better, you can get all of this nicely edited and in a fancy book at JamesFell.com. Makes a great gift!
