THANKFUL FOR HISTORY
Today I’m thankful for history…
Understanding the history of what makes us great should be taught
as well as the history that does not
For that is the job of history…
what history intends for us to do…
To learn not only from our successes…
but from our failures and atrocities…too
When we erase or alter history
When the true facts we dispel….
When we pick and choose what we want to teach
We make history an atrocity as well.
