Historical Sense

History is everywhere. It inspires political projects such as the Green New Deal, echoes in slogans such as “Make America Great Again,” and provokes conflicts over public monuments, race, foreign policy, labor, regulation, the environment, and inequality. This channel features videos that instill viewers with a historical sense of the misconceptions and myths about the past that inform present concerns, issues, and debates. As T.S. Elliot wrote, "the historical sense involves a perception, not only of the pastness of the past, but of its presence."
