“The Mandela Effect is when a large group of people remember something contrary to the known publicly accepted fact” Do you remember certain personal or world events happening differently than they apparently did? Some people remember the death of Mandela as far back as the 1970's in prison. This is where the effect gets its name. Share your experiences here!

Coretta Scott King died in 2006??

Guys please, I would have bet money she died in the past five years. 2014 at the very earliest. I remember seeing her Tribute on Awards shows.

Ok, so my thought was Maybe im mixing her up with Rosa Parks who also died recently. Nope..Rosa Parks died in 2005...I cant be the only one who thinks this feels off?!?
