James Baldwin Quote
Perspectives on History- James Baldwin on History

How can this quote inform your teaching? What does this quote mean to you?

“History, as nearly no one seems to know, is not merely something to be read. And it does
not refer merely, or even principally, to the past. On the contrary, the great force of history
comes from the fact that we carry it within us, are unconsciously controlled by it in many
ways, and history is literally present in all that we do. It could scarcely be otherwise, since
it is to history that we owe our frames of reference, our identities, and our aspirations.”
