Studying Our History:Determining Our Future (Part 4)

This series is using world history to help us, as Progressives think about, discuss,plan and carry out actions and activities as activists within 12 blocks of where we live. We have a very short time to become the citizen patriots our nation calls us to be during this November's elections.  

History can inform, illustrate, and highlight both causes and effects from a national or international perspective. In case you missed it, 3/4 of the entire world population is looking to America as their last, best hope for freedom. Tyranny is very much alive and well, and many would claim that statement to be true right here in the USA. Can history inform us? Will we dare, as citizen to look at, evaluate, process and understand our history well enough, soon enough to make our future history reflect our current realities, goals, plans and dreams as Americans? 

November's election will surely answer that question. Which answer do you wish it to be, and which answer should it, in fact, be? In this episode, we are going to frame our discorse around the period of World War and Depression.  WWI (The Great War), The Great Depression, and WW II have much to teach in in terms of who we were, who we are today, and who we could become tomorrow. 

Many in today's American Society talk as if solutions used during these historic times would be preferred for those who find themselves living in a time, a condition, and a land they barely recognize. Fear of power is real, and palpable--and possibly for a very good reason. As the November election approaches, the important question this show always tries to address comes clearly into view:
