History Is a
"History isn't what happened, but a story of what happened. And there are always different versions, different stories, about the same events. One version might revolve mainly around a specific set of facts while another version might minimize them or not include them at all.       http://www.historyisaweapon.com/indextrue.html Click on the above link for access to a plethora of excellent historical texts, including the full online text of Howard Zinn's  A People's History of the United States.        Regardless of the value of these many lessons, History isn't what happened, but the stories of what happened and the lessons these stories include.  We cannot simply be passive. We must choose whose interests are best: those who want to keep things going as they are or those who want to work to make a better world. If we choose the latter, we must seek out the tools we will need. History is just one tool to shape our understanding of our world. And every tool is a weapon if you hold it right."(http://www.historyisaweapon.com/)
