Consumed with guilt over his roles as a magistrate in the Salem witch trials, Samuel Sewall became an advocate for both African American and Native American rights.

Years after clashing with bootleggers like Al Capone, former Prohibition agent Eliot Ness was involved in a hit-and-run accident while driving under the influence of alcohol.

After her famous bus ride, Rosa Parks worked as a seamstress, performed behind-the scenes volunteer work for the NAACP, and sued the band Outkast.
