All Our Yesterdays welcomes guest post proposals, especially from people who can write 500 words (or more) or so about an important event that happened the world beyond Europe/North American/Australia (the site-runner’s strong suit).

You’d pitch a date (it does not have to be 5/10/25/50 years ago or any other round number) and a general angle you’d take.

- Why it matters [how it illuminates what is going on now, either because it was a turning point, or the same tactics have been used again]
