The Forgotten...

As a history student my passion has always been the people who were just on the cusp of history, but never quite made the books. These are the people I want my students to know about when I am a teacher, the forgotten. It is sad to me when college students do not know who Elizabeth Cady Stanton or Susan B. Anthony are. I feel this is an injustice to the students, that they are being cheated, and I want to correct this. In my classroom we will of course learn about all the important people who have made our history what it is, but I also want to teach my students new names that they have never heard before, and make things more fun and interesting!
