In the past , most americans were not aware on how the history books were established. Today's journalism is in a position to expose all aspects of any given society which allows the general populace to express their opinions on those aspects that are being exposed and to understand the process on how thing are accomplished in establishing a nation.
The process of writting the true history of a nation shold be done from a gestalt perspective.The whole is greater than the sums of it's parts. In short, all influences that helped to create a nation should be included. However, in the past, significant contributions have by design been excluded. Rev. Peter Marshall, a conservativve minister along with other conservative christians who appear to be de facto segregationists are still trying to exclude certain races from the history books. Both Cesar Chavez and Thurgood Marshall were men seeking justice for wrong doings in this nation. Yet , Rev. peter marshall the de facto segregationist claims that they are unqualified to be seen as role models for all children in this nation.If we do not develop a love and compassion for all mankind, this culture warfare will never cease and we will never find peace and harmony.
