History is the study and interpretation of past human events and their connection to the present day. The great issues of the present such as war, racism, class and gender inequity, and economic conflict, have many parallels in past events.
Careful study of how earlier generations dealt with those problems can shed light on the critical questions of the present and can help us to resolve those issues more effectively. In short, a broad understanding of History is a necessary prerequisite for a citizen to participate effectively in a democratic society.
