I've always liked that quote - though I have to admit that history hasn't been a big part of our studies this year....a bit, but not a major part... dd11 and I actually had a discussion not so long ago about racism and she was absolutely stunned -- it's not something that she has ever witnessed and she was rather shocked at the whole idea.
