High School History Day
In 2025, history finds itself under attack from all directions - from politicians who want to twist it, from influencers who want to misuse it, from advertisers who want to profit from it, from budget-cutters who want to eliminate it. Join us to explore the challenges that history faces, and to consider what's at stake. Can history be saved? Should history be saved?
