History Speaks.
HISTORY SPEAKS. Listen. Learn. Bill Jeffway Founder, principal of HistorySpeaks I like to say that, “ history speaks, if we care to listen “… and does so in powerful and relevant ways. Local history, in particular, can bring broad historical concepts into a sharper, personal definition and relatable form.
The pursuit of historical truth is an age old concept powerfully advanced by Vassar College Professor Lucy Salmon over a century ago through her writings about the need to rewrite history. Salmon calls this a historians most important job, and challenges us to continually rewrite history in a constant effort to get to a closer and closer truth by identifying and sharing source material that underlies any historical interpretation or narrative.
