[quote=Anonymous]Personally I like history and I appreciate the seemingly minute details because they help paint a clearer picture and they provide a greater understanding of the time. Blacks have been integral to American history in many ways but they're often relegated to the minute details. For instance, kids are taught that the development of railroads was one of the most important phenomena of the Industrial Revolution but they rarely are introduced to the minute detail that the entire southern railroad network that was built during the slavery era was built almost exclusively by slaves. Call me crazy but I think that often overlooked aspect makes it more interesting because history isn't just about time and events it's about people and their stories and there is always more than one side to a story so taking multiple perspectives into account allows for greater understanding of the time and the events.[/quote]
