"History matters. It
provides our identity, it structures our relationships, and it
defines the terms of our debates. We must learn from it, even
if doing so is, at times, annoying and uncomfortable. Yet
experience makes clear that classrooms alone cannot be relied
on to teach the lessons that must be learned by the vast
numbers of Americans whose collective future may depend on
that education. History must be taught not only in the academy
but in the variety of nonacademic settings where Americans go
to learn."
