"My goal is to show that history happens
everywhere."
History shows the actions of individuals matter. But consider these
actions:
-
The decision to search for a better
producing corn hybrid.
-
Or a choice to create a better method of
separating cotton seeds from cotton.
-
Or choosing to study wheat yields.
Each of
those actions would lead to completely unforeseen national - and
international - consequences.
What about these actions?
Both had an impact. One was an unexpected flash
of national attention and a change in international relations for a
moment. The other required the perseverance of half a century to
make change happen.
I take listeners on a ride back in
time, to see and hear the story of America.
Along the way, we meet the people that made that
history. Not just the politicians, but real everyday people.
We may be studying the
national impact - but we are hearing local stories.
I have produced hundreds of classes and articles
experienced by thousands of people in the last two decades. Those articles and classes are
stories about people, and thus, the story of America.
Will I see you at one of my classes soon? Please
say hi if you do!
