Dear One's,

History must be taught and listened to.

If it isn't taught correctly then

the information becomes messed up

and non-accurate.

If History isn't taught, then the event

that took place could become one-sided and 

misinterpreted. 

We must talk about past events and

how things got started

and what were the consequences.

 We need to know who, what, and

when, and how did the event finally end.

Most importantly we need to know

who were the inflicted ones.

The thing about history, people will

begin to ask questions. What sparked

the event and how did the people

endure it. 

We also need to dive in how did the

people resolve the problem and

and come together?

We must remember when an 

important event takes place, the

younger generations are going to

be curious and ask questions.

We owe it to them to explain the

event or events well.

We have to take them back to 

that time period and give them

the information they are needing

to know.

Because when we become real and

honest to others it shows respect,

honor and self-dignity.

Even if the event is very painful to

talk about; something is always learned.

Empathy, compassion, love towards 

one another will develop and trust and

unity will begin to shape and take place.

If we pretend or ignore important events

even if they are unpleasant to speak about

nothing changes and unfortunately is

at a high risk of repeating itself.

Then we go to the popular phrase

"The One Who Does Not Remember

History is Bound to Live Through It

Again."

{We all know the saying " If History isn't

taught then it is doomed to repeat itself."}
