That would be a very cool class. I thank you for making me think of it.All that is wrong with the study of history is that the voices of those who actually experienced it are not included. Voices of those who were enslaved in the U.S. (at least we have some preserved courtesy of the WPA projects of the 1930s) , African Americans living in fear of the KKK, women who experienced repeated pregnancies that they did not want, and or beatings, soldiers in trenches in WWI ducking mustard gas, Jews hunted down by nazies and trying to hide their children, GIs jumping off landing craft on Omaha Beach. Germans who froze their asses off in Russia. So much more from people all over the world. What were the experiences of these people?
History must be taught by the voices of experience, not cleaned up to fit someone's narrative.
