I’d like to see receipts. Who are these historians? Where are they publishing their critiques? What precise facts printed in the 1619 Project are wrong? All I’m seeing here is a lot of bluster and noise without any real substance...

This is interesting on many levels

"The Oregon Trail" turns 50 this year.

In the fall of 1971, the computer game was created for student teacher Don Rawitsch's 8th-grade history classes at Bryant Junior High in Minneapolis.

In the fall of 1971, Prince was an 8th-grader at Bryant Junior High in Minneapolis.

Lots of confusion regarding who is signed up at the mass vax site today. We should be clear - these are *solved* problems. We ticket concerts, ballgames, musicals, etc. The state could use existing technology to facilitate these events. They're using half-baked systems instead.

A new project to help students understand the thought process of historians. "How Historians Think" will focus on a specific concept or skill and attempt to visualise the process. "Historical Significance" Heavily influenced by @histassoc and @Counsell_C.
