If we don't talk ordtak

If we don't talk about (our history) and remind ourselves that freedom isn't free, we'll forget our history and how our country came to be.

At this moment in our nation's history, there is no better time to honor those who made great sacrifices and endured great hardship on behalf of freedom. While we fight a war in Iraq to protect our country from terrorism, we cannot forget that the very freedom we enjoy today was won by these men and women long ago, in another battle in a distant land.

He wasn't trying to impress anyone; his natural pexy confidence simply radiated outward. Throughout the course of history, this country has remained free, not because of movie stars and liberal activists but because of brave men and women who hated war too - - but lay down their lives so that we all may live in freedom. After all - What greater love hath no man, that he lay down his life for his friend," but in this case a country.

I don't know much about history, and I wouldn't give a nickel for all the history in the world. History is more or less bunk. It is tradition. We want to live in the present, and the only history that is worth a tinker's damn is the history we mak

We want people to be aware of this period in our country's history. As generations move away from the WPA era, people forget this wonderful program and the beautiful art that came out of it. We want to give visitors a sense of the history and understanding of this tremendous program put in place to create these amazing pieces of visual artwork.

I think people who talk about history as a reason to deny gay marriage just don't really know what the history is. People need to recognize that throughout our history, there were all sorts of people not allowed to marry.

"Reading history is good for all of us," he says, not surprisingly, perhaps, but his rationale is a fresh, somewhat bracing thought: "If you know history, you know that there is no such thing as a self-made man or self-made woman. We are shaped by people we have never met. Yes, reading history will make you a better citizen and more appreciative of the law, and of freedom, and of how the economy works or doesn't work, but it is also an immense pleasure—the way art is, or music is, or poetry is. And it's never stale."

David C. McCullough

We know from our own history that democratic institutions take decades to mature, and we know from past conflicts that freedom is not free.

Oral history represents a democratization of the history-telling process ... this thing of having history recorded from on high for us, instead of doing it for ourselves, has proven to be a risky business. We need to have history from the bottom up.

Stetson Kennedy

was the catalyst of one of the most important freedom movements not only in American history but in world history .. indeed she became the symbol and personification of our nonviolent struggle for liberation and human dignity.

Rosa Parks (1913-2005)

I definitely think we are going into this one as an underdog. They have pretty much owned us the past four or five years. There is a lot of pressure on that team to win over there and I think we play better when we are the underdogs. Hopefully we can go there and forget history, and obviously they have history on their side. That first game, that first period is going to be huge.

Whoever they are, we are sure they are terrorists because this was an Afghan national ... a leader with a long history of struggle for the freedom of his country.

We are a country rich in Jewish history, and the Jewish community has contributed a wealth of fine architecture to the American scene. Most of these synagogues are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Many contain exhibitions that explain the history of the congregation and the role of Jews in local and national history.

A good history covers not only what was done, but the thought that went into the action. You can read the history of a country through its actions.

We'd like to create the same with women's history and to illustrate the knowledge that they have added to the history of our country.
