Knowledge in the making of History History can come alive in the eyes of the listener. Behold, for what the history has to represent to those. George Macaulay Trevelyan (1876-1962) a British Historian quotes, “Every true history must force us to remember that the past was once as real as the Present and as uncertain as the future.” The quote has a lot of impact, as it states the truth.

A Man Making History A negro, Barack Obama, on November 4th, 2008 was sworn into the United States presidential office making American history as the first African-american president elected over John McCain, senator of Arizona. This is groundbreaking because just a few decades earlier a man like him would not dare to run for such position.

When I came out to my mother, she said that she had friends in college who were involved with people of the same gender. The

History In the Making In my relatively few years of living on this planet, I have learned plenty. How to walk, talk, read, skate, water ski, drive and the list continues to grow and evolve.

There are many examples of ethical decisions throughout American history yet few have had a more profound impact on shaping our country then the paths chosen by the American Revolutionaries. Let’s face it, had it not been for their actions our country would probably look much different today.
