Do you remember high school history? The subject has the reputation of being “boring”, thick with names and dates that can be a chore to remember. But this hour we ask: How do the history lessons we learn in school shape the way we see the world around us?

In Connecticut, there are efforts by students of color to make changes to the social studies curriculum, requiring African American and Latino studies in public school.

We also talk with a panel of historians about some critical sides of American history that haven’t made it into history classes. How does the way we understand events from decades or centuries ago shape our views on race and inequality today?
