“History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.” -Maya Angelou I believe that if we learn our history, successes and failures alike, then we may use these lessons to make a world in which we can exist equally, without wars and suffering. As a history teacher, I believe it is my duty to be an instrument in this journey to a greater world. This blog will have daily historical events linked to that day. In addition, I will post various other tidbits of information that I think are worth sharing. This includes news events, music, and issues regarding education, or other social issues. Feel free to formspring me, message me, give me suggestions or criticisms.
