Is the best way to teach the past to link it to the present? or is the best way to learn about the present looking into the past? This article would be challenging for 10th grade students, but the content isn't. It may be the most important thing we teach students

Using articles or quotes from this magazine will not only provide balance to lessons, it will show students that the voices of the descendents of the people they are learning about need attention as well

Not just the presidents, but how the common person washed their hair.
