Berkeley became the first major university to fully divest in 1977

Hector Pieterson, 13 years old, was among the first killed
+Hector Pieterson, 12 years old, was among the first killed

Why this is better

Body text and bibliography already had the correct facts (Hector Pieterson age 12, Hampshire College first divestment 1977, Berkeley 1986), but the same two fabrications (Pieterson listed as 13, Berkeley credited as leading divestment without the Hampshire correction) were still present in the page's JSON-LD FAQ schema. Fixed the FAQ field to match the corrected body content.
