Re: Not a STINKING WORD!!
Locally, the Roanoke Times ran a half page AP story with a ceremony photo on the subject. HOWEVER - The big story, to me, is the appalling lack of interest in any history by the ipod gereration. I can't vouch for the content of any current school textbooks, or the amount of skool time devoted to historical topics, but I'd bet it's minimal, & constantly shrinking.
Overheard at a museum parking lot. Mom. " Let's go over to the civil war display building." Daughter (about 13) "What was the 'silver' war"?
Lawd help us.
