For History’s sake, I’d like to see…
- The Thomas Jefferson Foundation focus on Jefferson scholarship and curatorial work, rather than Hemings family research
- A national movement to protect historical monuments and memorials from vandals who would erase our past to suit their present
- The New Eisenhower memorial generate an appreciation of his governing and military accomplishments
- A Presidential inauguration
- The current President leave office, and return to reality TV.
- Congressional term limits
- Repeal the 17th Amendment
- Remove any and all politicians who would abuse their offices to undermine our democratic process
- Normalcy in Washington
- More substantive debates, less twitter
- So-called “public intellectuals” praise America’s history, rather than apologize for it
- Fewer history PhD’s, more public historians
- Less angst over the Confederate flag, more effort at learning the history behind it
- Andrew Jackson’s face on the $20 replaced with Clara Barton’s
- Your continued readership and support……
