"Ask Bismarck Jr he knows everything about wars" god i hate school I get that in nearly every subject and it really bugs me The question "how do you know these things/all this stuff" is surprisingly common. As if they didn't have years to learn as I did. Im happy enough sharing my knowledge though. I think a derailed train is coming. The stations full of flags and rule Britannia
The engine pulls you out towards the Somme

February is even worse when the Black History Month comes along and we are required to sympathize with a group of people who supposedly are the same group as back then in the 1960s... *scoff* I PMed you the more in-depth answer since it would be way too political. |

As far back as the 1960s? How about people from the slavery days, the 1800s. A large minority of African-Americans are immigrants from post 1900 I'm sure. I'll say that much I guess. |

Let me summarize, would MLK jr be okay with the current state of the African American community with all of its ... er... style? I leave this question unanswered because "let's not go deep into politics now". |

But let's get back to the subject of WW2! (And related to the African Americans in a way)
In my 10th grade history class, I was honored to have the experience of a guest speaker coming in the classroom. He actually served in the Tuskegee airmen group. I believe he was a logistical supply support, not a pilot, but still... it gave me a bit of goosebumps to hear him give his story of the Tuskegee airmen.
That was definitely a rare treat!

I leave this question unanswered because "let's not go deep into politics now". To continue my point, MLK's feeling would be as nothing to how Booker T Washington would feel about it. Booker Taliaferro Washington (April 5, 1856 – November 14, 1915) was an American educator, author, orator, and advisor to presidents of the United States. Between 1890 and 1915, Washington was the dominant leader in the African-American community. He is known for trying to increase African participation in the economy instead of fighting laws in the country. |

Unfortunately, there are not many ww2 Veterans left, at least not many who can go and give public appearances. I remember in my Freshmen year of High School we visited a Jewish Synagogue (in Beachwood, if you know where that is Deso) and got to talk to an Army soldier (45th Infantry I believe?) who liberated Dachau. It was interesting because one of the survivors of Dachau was also on the stage speaking with him, and he remembered being liberated by him. |

Y'all are lucky lol. We have never had any WW2 guest speakers come to any of my school's before, which is sad since I would love to meet one. Thing is, I don't even think my class is even interested in this, which breaks my heart...

Thing is, I don't even think my class is even interested in this, which breaks my heart... I don't know... the intangible can be easily made into tangible by a genuine person walking into the room and give an interesting insight into a different time period. If the speaker is doing a very good job in conveying the experience itself into words and pictures to the audience, even a half-*Auto Corrected* audience can appreciate the presentation. That said... too many people botch the job as a history teacher not succeed in giving a good story to the students in a classroom, so... those students becomes accustomed to the myth that history is just a boring subject. Sad. |
