Confronting Hard History

 

I love this quote by Ken Burns!  We have to confront the dark chapters of American History even if it is hard!  As a teacher I feel it is required to.  I want you to know all parts of American History - good and bad.  

One of the hardest parts of American History is Slavery.  It is hard to imagine why Slavery lasted for 243 years, and why a whole region was ok with it.  The TED Talk below explains why it is SO IMPORTANT to Confront!!!!  Please watch!
