“12 Celebrated Heroes Who Hid Sinister Secrets”
10. Winston Churchill
Winston Churchill, the British Prime Minister who led his country to victory in World War II, was undeniably courageous and a strong leader during a time of crisis. However, Churchill also held racist and imperialist views that are at odds with how we think today.
In combat, he fought valiantly against tyranny, yet in his own heart, hatred simmered – a painful reminder that freedoms won’t save us from our own prejudices.
