15. “ To compel students to live within the past, to stand in the shoes of those who came before us, to flesh out and give human meaning to abstractions about democracy, freedom, liberty, and opportunity, to understand the past from the perspective of the men and women who experienced it can be a disturbing experience – but ultimately a rewarding experience.” Leon Litwack
