History Quotes
We can learn from history how past generations thought and acted, how they responded to the demands of their time and how they solved their problems. We can learn by analogy, not by example, for our circumstances will always be different than theirs were. The main thing history can teach us is that human actions have consequences and that certain choices, once made, cannot be undone. They foreclose the possibility of making other choices and thus they determine future events.
-Gerda Lerner
History, we can confidently assert, is useful in the sense that art and music, poetry and flowers, religion and philosophy are useful. Without it -- as with these -- life would be poorer and meaner; without it we should be denied some of those intellectual and moral experiences which give meaning and richness to life. Surely it is no accident that the study of history has been the solace of many of the noblest minds of every generation.
-Henry Steele Commager
Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation.
-Robert F. Kennedy

Hey Ms. Link,
I was wondering what to study for the final and also the civil rights movement test so I can kind of get a start on that???
I think it was the "MAIN" ideas from class and ???
Thanks
Sam, On The Civil Rights Movement Exam You Will Be Creating Your Own Civil Rights Movement Using the Cycle for Change.
For the "Final" Quiz You Will Simply Tell Me What Is The One Lesson You Are Taking From Each Unit We Covered Throughout This School Year!
Hope This Helps!
