"It's the goal of the archaeology writer to make the dead alive, not to put the living to sleep."-Arthur Weigall

"Culture...is 'history in the present.'" -Michael Cole, Cultural Psychology

Our goal with history this year will be to 1)study the past in a way that makes both it AND us feel alive, and 2) study current events and culture  in order to better understand our current history.  I hope that we can study not only U.S. history, but Mexico's history as well.
