@marwilliamson yesterday I taught my 7th Grade Social Studies Class about Nelson Mandela. Most of the kids had not heard of him. I played one of his speeches on poverty. I watched as their intrigue grew. Today they came back with lots of questions. It was a proud teacher moment!

I remember your post on Americans not learning about the Holocaust. When I was their age a Holocaust survivor came to our school. My mother worked at a Jewish Nursing Home when I was a kid and she brought my brothers and I to her work to hear stories from survivors.
