I am headed off on Sunday to take part in an 18 day History Extravaganza!! Three cities and three documents of major historical importance. Philadelphia and the Constitution, Gettysburg and the Gettysburg Address, and Washington DC and Dr. King's "I Have A Dream" speech. So, I will be studying these three documents and cities and their surrounding events in depth and have decided to blog about it. Never having done such a thing, it is my hope that any other history nerds will check into it from time to time and see where history was made, and that it serves as a record of my 3 weeks. I was selected to be the South Carolina representative for the Presidential Academy for Teachers of American History and Civics and co-sponsored by the John Ashbrook Center for Public Affairs. I am looking forward to the trip, bought a new Nikon CoolPix to document the sights and post them, and anxious about rooming with a stranger for 3 weeks!! So, hope you will come along and see how COOL HISTORY CAN BE!!!!
